There is also the Flagstone High which some choose to go to as it isn't too far away. Greenbank also has good access to a number of Private Schools in the Springfield Region with good bus services to those. Hope that helps! Is it too many snakes in greenbank , or how often u guys encounter a snake at ur places juat bit scared for kids. If you keep around the house tidy the snakes tend to stay away, they are harmless and unless you leave your doors and windows open they stay outside.
Princeton Park is an area of Greenbank that has a rural lifestyle while not far from the city. Although each 1. This review is based around the Spring Mountain area. Fantastic community semi-rural aspect. You notice the stress of the day disappear as you enter the estate. Kids running and swimming about in summer, roaring fires and the smoke from chimneys in the winter A true four season suburb. If you are wishing to stroll to local shops and cafes then this area currently is not ideal.
The great flipside to that is there is no traffic issues and no kids loitering around the shops. Peace and Quiet is why people move here. Space to have a great BBQ and space to wander through the bushland escaping all the world's worries. Internet for some streets is still an issue due to infrastructure. Still so close to everything by car. The place to live The new shopping centre is a godsend for those that live near, but not all of Greenbank is near to it.
Great to live here if you're into entertaining - don't have to worry about disturbing the neighbours. However you have to drive if you want to go out on a night - that is frustrating. Superb for wildlife. Is it too many snakes in greenbank?
Or how often u guys encounter snakes.. If you love the beauty of nature, watching the birds nest in the year old gum trees, watch the wallabys hop through the bush, love not having your neighbours in your pocket but not far enough to not know them Sooo close to all the major roads Logan Motorway.. Gateway and only approx k's from the city and about 50k's to the Gold Coast. Perfect position. Springfield is being built now with Orion Shopping centre to be the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere.
Park Ridge now also has a bus station in progress. Don't go to suburbia and pay huge dollars for small amounts of land I have for the past 10 years and wouldn't move from Elizabeth Park. Great for the kids and the pets with a fantastic outdoors lifestyle. No obese lazy kids here they all play outside. Well no not from where I live in Greenbank Yes Spring Mountain is a long way out I chose Elizabeth Park as it is still close to most things.
I had a friend at Spring Mountain and her house was 20k's from my place and thats why it shouldn't come under the umbrella of 'Greenbank' cos its not I wouldn't care if I lived further away I chose to live here for the peace and quiet and the space. Greenbank is a great suburb Some times I hate the drive home, but when I drive down Spring Mountain Drive, I don't regret it one bit after 6 years.
I love the tranquility and the peaceful weekends. One way in and one way out Elizabeth Park is nice also. Yes Touche to that I have been the city girl and wouldn't swap it for the world. My girls are "Free range" not "Battery". Princeton Park has all the advantages of "Acreage Living" as well as the convenience of still being close to the city, especiall now there is a City Express Bus.
Princeton Park is a newer area near Elizabeth Park. Greenbank is such a large area I feel it should be divided into seperate subdivisions the way Brown's Plains has been It has been split. The big mistake is that it is always just referred to as 'Greenbank" and as far out as Thompson Road is still Greenbank. The original Greenbank. Boronia Heights used to be Greenbank aswell before they made it into a horrible housing estate.
Given why those poor people at Flagstone are in for a surprise when all the suburban houses start going in there. We need more transport though and after 13 years of living here and now with teenagers, I am forever taxing them back n forth.
You cant even get a bus to Springfield and we are the next suburb go figure : These planning geniuses that design have no idea as most would never have lived here and would never ask a local what they might like.
The line opened on 27 September The new railway was expected to open up southern markets for Queensland fruit and vegetable growers and meat producers. However, the new railway posed problems for local graziers who drove their cattle to the Brisbane markets along Teviot and Paradise Roads.
The railway department installed gates across the line, but farmers had to be aware of the train timetable and make sure they could drive their cattle across the line before the train came through.
The track saved Anderson from having to go through the railway gates. Anderson donated the track and its land to the Council when he subdivided his land in the late s and early s. A number of sawmills operated in the region around Greenbank in the s, including one at New Beith on Oxley Creek. In January , residents of Greenbank and Browns Plains applied to the government for telephone services.
At that time, there were five homes willing to connect in Greenbank and three in Browns Plains. Locals worked together to supply the timber telephone poles and supply the labour to erect them. The service required Sheppard was also secretary of the local progress association. The telephone service opened on 15 August and was capable of servicing 45 homes. He had one phone, with 10 homes on a party line. Postal services were upgraded in the late s.
John Cordingley, the Kingston storekeeper and blacksmith, took on the postal service wayside delivery in the west following the closure of the Park Ridge Post Office which had been operated by a farmer, Mr A Wilson.
He delivered the post twice a week. Local residents were surveyed to determine how many deliveries they would prefer. On 19 March , Mr Cordingley started to deliver the mail by horse and sulky three times a week to Kingston and Park Ridge. Cream carrier Johnson delivered in the Greenbank area. In November , the Greenbank Progress Association resisted military authorities who sought to resume large parcels of land in the area for long-range target practice and other military manoeuvres.
In the s, the funding allocated to a division was directly related to the rates collected locally. By August , the resumptions were approved and gazetted.
The 4,acre camp had been used for logging and for grazing the Hereford stud herd of the previous owner, Mr Stewart. In , a report was commissioned to value the timber on the site as a way to value the property.
Queensland Industries Pty Ltd concluded that there were isolated specimens of valuable timber, but that logging had already removed most of the worthwhile timber.
The report concluded that there was not enough economic potential to warrant commercial use of the area for timber supplies. It noted that if the area was allowed to regenerate for 50 years, it would become a valuable timber area again. Throughout the s, the Commonwealth Government continued to acquire land in Greenbank.
In , the Commonwealth was sought to resume more land for military purposes. Again, this land resumption met with strong local opposition, particularly to the planned road closure. Residents argued that the road was the only trafficable road in times of heavy rain and flash flooding, when the Oxley Creek Bridge was often flooded for three days.
The road was also regularly used by local timber haulers. The resumption proceeded in spite of the opposition, and Greenbank became the training ground for the regular army, army reserves and school cadets. It is likely that the development of Greenbank Army Camp influenced the decision to proceed with a major upgrade of Mount Lindesay Highway in April In June , an automatic telephone exchange was established at Greenbank.
It was a line exchange, with 15 subscribers initially. In March , the Edwards family property in Ison Road, Greenbank was subdivided into 40 rural residential lots and offered for sale. Charles Edwards had been a bee keeper and timber getter.
He and his sons cut timber for the first electricity poles in Brisbane and for railway bridges on the interstate railway.
