About Spring Hill

Spring Hill is a densely populated inner-city suburb situated immediately north of the Brisbane CBD within the Brisbane City local government area, covering just 1.28 square kilometres with a population of 6,593 residents. The suburb skews notably young, with a median age of 32 and more than a third of residents aged between 25 and 34, drawn by proximity to the city, major employers, and educational institutions. With over half the population born overseas, Spring Hill is one of Brisbane's most culturally diverse neighbourhoods, attracting professionals, students, and newcomers from across the globe.

Spring Hill is home to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital — one of Queensland's largest healthcare campuses — making it a natural hub for medical professionals and allied health workers. Its heritage-listed streetscapes blend Victorian-era terrace houses and colonial residences with modern apartment towers, giving the suburb a layered, characterful feel. An eclectic mix of cafes, restaurants, and small bars lines its streets, and with median weekly rent of 10 and excellent access to Brisbane Transit Centre and the CBD, Spring Hill remains a popular choice for young professionals seeking an inner-city lifestyle.

Spring Hill falls under postcode 4000 and is governed by Brisbane Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the McConnel electorate.
