About Sunnybank Hills

Sunnybank Hills is Brisbane's Asian-Australian heartland, a multicultural suburb of 18,100 residents 14 kilometres south of the CBD. While lacking direct rail, buses connect to the Sunnybank station and city, and the suburb benefits from proximity to Sunnybank's renowned Asian dining precinct. The suburban character features established homes on good blocks.

The Chinese community has transformed this area into Brisbane's most authentic Asian dining destination—Sunnybank Plaza and surrounds offer restaurants and grocers rivaling Sydney's suburbs. Families prioritise nearby MacGregor State High School. Sunnybank Hills attracts Asian-Australian families seeking community, excellent food, and suburban comfort within reach of city employment.

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