About Upper Kedron
Upper Kedron is an outer north-western suburb of Brisbane, located 12 kilometres from the CBD on the edge of Brisbane Forest Park. With a rapidly growing population of 5,800, it has evolved from bushland into a sought-after residential area with new master-planned estates. The suburb contains the headwaters of Kedron Brook and is characterised by hilly terrain, native bushland, and larger residential blocks.
The suburb attracts families and professionals seeking space, modern homes, and proximity to nature while remaining connected to Brisbane. A major Cedar Woods development is adding 900 new lots to the area. While there are no schools within Upper Kedron itself, neighbouring Ferny Grove provides primary and secondary options. The historic Upper Kedron Hall (est. 1890) and Cedar Creek Cemetery add heritage character. High owner-occupancy (70%) reflects the established, family-oriented community.
Upper Kedron falls under postcode 4055 and is governed by Brisbane Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ferny Grove electorate.
