About Ransome
Ransome is a low-density outer suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, located approximately 19.6 kilometres east of the Brisbane CBD in the Chandler Ward. Established in 1975, the suburb spans nearly 5 square kilometres and recorded a population of 429 at the 2021 census, reflecting its predominantly industrial and conservation land use with limited residential areas. The suburb borders the Mookin-Bah Reserve, a significant conservation area protecting remnant bushland and wetland habitats on Brisbane's eastern fringe. Ransome sits alongside the suburbs of Wakerley, Gumdale, Chandler and Thorneside.
Ransome's character is shaped by its mix of light industrial uses, conservation reserve land and low-density residential pockets, making it a quiet outer suburb with easy access to Brisbane's eastern growth corridor. The Mookin-Bah Reserve provides local bushwalking and nature experiences, while the nearby Wakerley neighbourhood centre and Carindale shopping precinct (approximately 8 km west) offer everyday retail needs. The suburb is served by bus connections to Brisbane's eastern suburbs network, with train access available at nearby Thorneside and Manly stations on the Cleveland Line. Residents value the relatively spacious semi-rural feel while remaining within Brisbane's metropolitan boundary.
Ransome falls under postcode 4154 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Chatsworth electorate.
