About Windaroo

Windaroo is a quiet residential suburb in the City of Logan, Queensland, situated approximately 40 kilometres south of Brisbane CBD in the Logan–Beaudesert corridor. With a 2021 Census population of 2,771, the suburb covers just under 2 square kilometres and is classified as a major urban locality within the Greater Brisbane statistical area. Windaroo has historical roots as a sugar farming area — it was the second sugar lease taken out in the Albert River region — and today it is a low-density suburban community popular with families.

Windaroo offers an affordable suburban lifestyle with easy access to the amenities of nearby Beenleigh and the broader Logan City area. Windaroo Valley State High School is the local secondary school, while families also have access to several primary schools in adjoining suburbs. Public transport is provided by the TransLink 565 bus route, connecting Windaroo to Loganholme Busway Station and Beenleigh Railway Station for train access to Brisbane. The suburb's low density, quiet streets, and relative affordability attract young families and owner-occupiers seeking a relaxed lifestyle within commuting distance of Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
