About Macgregor

Macgregor is a suburban locality in Brisbane City, located approximately 13 kilometres south of the Brisbane CBD in Queensland. With a population of around 5,980 and a youthful median age of 34, it is one of Brisbane's most culturally diverse suburbs — more than half of its residents were born overseas, predominantly from China, Taiwan, India, South Korea, and Vietnam. The median household income of $1,752 per week and relatively affordable housing make it attractive to young professionals, students, and multicultural families.

Macgregor sits close to Griffith University's Nathan Campus and the Sunnybank Hills precinct, renowned for its Asian cuisine, grocery markets, and vibrant dining scene. Several bus routes connect the suburb to Garden City and the Brisbane CBD, while the nearby Pacific Motorway provides easy road access. With a mix of post-war homes and newer townhouses, and a strong sense of community among its multicultural residents, Macgregor offers an affordable, well-connected base in Brisbane's southern suburbs.

Macgregor falls under postcode 4109 and is governed by Brisbane Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Toohey electorate.
