About Redwood

Redwood is a rural locality on the eastern outskirts of Toowoomba in the Toowoomba Region, Queensland, situated approximately 5 kilometres east of the Toowoomba city centre. Covering around 4.2 square kilometres, the locality is largely defined by Redwood Park — a 2,243-hectare bushland reserve that makes up roughly half of the suburb's total area. The remaining land to the south of the New England Highway is predominantly crown land, giving Redwood a distinctly open, semi-natural character with a small residential population of 159 people as recorded in the 2021 Census.

Redwood Park provides residents and visitors with extensive bushland walking and cycling opportunities, offering a natural escape on the doorstep of Queensland's largest inland city. The New England Highway passes through the locality, providing straightforward access to Toowoomba's wide range of shops, services, schools, and healthcare facilities within a short drive. For those who value bushland surroundings while remaining close to urban conveniences, Redwood's location on the fringe of Toowoomba makes it an appealing, if sparsely settled, lifestyle option.

Redwood falls under postcode 4350 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Toowoomba South electorate.
