About Samsonvale
Samsonvale is a rural locality in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, located approximately 37 kilometres north-west of the Brisbane CBD. With a population of 674 according to the 2021 Census, the locality covers around 34 square kilometres and records a median household income above the Queensland average at around $56,000. The area is dominated by low-density rural residential properties and small farms, with Lake Samsonvale (North Pine Dam) — a major water storage reservoir — forming a significant natural feature at the western edge of the locality.
Samsonvale offers a coveted semi-rural lifestyle within comfortable reach of Brisbane's northern suburbs and the Moreton Bay region's services. The historic Samsonvale & Districts Public Hall, established in the mid-1800s, remains a focal point for community events and gatherings. North Pine Country Park, which surrounds Lake Samsonvale, provides excellent opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, horse riding, and birdwatching. The commercial centre of Strathpine is approximately 22 kilometres to the east, while Dayboro to the north offers local cafes and a village atmosphere.
Samsonvale falls under postcode 4520 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Pine Rivers electorate.
