About Josephville

Josephville is a rural locality in the Scenic Rim Region of south-east Queensland, situated approximately 10.5 kilometres west of Beaudesert and 76 kilometres south-south-west of Brisbane CBD. Covering just over 60 square kilometres of gently undulating agricultural land, it had a population of 172 people at the 2021 census. The area lies within the broader Scenic Rim, a region celebrated for its dramatic mountain backdrops, rich red soil farmlands and proximity to the Gondwana Rainforests World Heritage Area. The primary land use is agriculture, with cattle grazing and mixed farming operations spread across the locality.

Josephville offers a peaceful semi-rural lifestyle within an easy drive of Beaudesert's full range of services and schools, and within commuting distance of Brisbane for those willing to make the journey. The Scenic Rim's tourism industry brings visitors to nearby attractions such as Tamborine Mountain, Boonah and the O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat. The area appeals to families and tree-changers seeking acreage living, fresh air and a strong connection to nature, while still maintaining practical access to south-east Queensland's regional and metropolitan centres.

Josephville falls under postcode 4285 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Scenic Rim electorate.
