About Woolloongabba

Woolloongabba is a vibrant inner-city suburb just 2 kilometres south of Brisbane's CBD, within the Brisbane City Council area. With a population of 8,687 and a median age of 29, it is one of Brisbane's youngest and most densely settled suburbs, dominated by young professionals, university students, and renters in a mix of apartments and terrace homes. Significant urban renewal in recent years has driven new residential and commercial development along its key corridors.

Woolloongabba is home to the iconic Gabba stadium on Vulture Street, the spiritual home of Queensland cricket and AFL. The suburb's café and dining scene thrives along Logan Road and Vulture Street, with diverse restaurants, bars, and boutique retail reflecting a highly cosmopolitan community — including significant Chinese, South Korean, Indian, and Vietnamese populations. Both Coles on Stanley Street and Woolworths on Logan Road serve the dense residential population, while frequent bus and train connections make for easy access to the CBD. Its walkable, energetic atmosphere makes it a favourite for students, young professionals, and inner-city lifestyle seekers.

Woolloongabba falls under postcode 4102 and is governed by Brisbane Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the South Brisbane electorate.
