Where Carina Heights sits

Carina Heights is the hilly, post-war suburb wedged between Camp Hill and Westfield Carindale, about ten kilometres by road south-east of the CBD and 7.7 kilometres as the crow flies. It is 3.4 square kilometres of ridges and gullies: the hill the suburb is named for sits in the north-east corner at 36 metres, and Pine Mountain rises to 106 metres inside Whites Hill Reserve in the south-west. Camp Hill sits to the west and north-west, Carina to the north, Carindale to the east across Creek Road, Mansfield and Mount Gravatt East to the south and Holland Park to the south-west. It was split off from Carina in 1975, and 7,103 people lived here at the 2021 Census.

Boundaries
Creek Road is the eastern edge, with Westfield Carindale directly across it. Whites Hill Reserve closes off the south-west and Pine Mountain Road runs along the southern end. Old Cleveland Road sits just north of the suburb line in Carina, so the shops and buses on it are a walk for the northern streets rather than a drive.
The roads
Creek Road (Westfield, the Carindale bus interchange, the run north to Old Cleveland Road and the Gateway). Winstanley Street and Gallipoli Road (the two bus spines through the middle of the suburb). Pine Mountain Road (the southern end, the golf club and the way down to Wecker Road). Samuel Street and Jones Road (west into Camp Hill and the Marketplace)

The pockets

The suburb street by street: who each pocket suits and what to check there.

The numbers on the map above mark each pocket.

1The hill and the Creek Road side

Whatmore, Hecklemann, Gaffney and Teefey Streets on the crest, Vickers and Laurie Streets below it, and the short streets that run down to Creek Road

The highest ground in the north-east corner, with Belmont Private Hospital on the very top at 1220 Creek Road and Gaffney Street Park below it. Post-war timber and brick on 600 to 650 square metre blocks, many already reworked. A corner house on Vickers Street is a 600-metre walk to Westfield. The crest streets, Whatmore, Teefey and the lower end of Hecklemann, are the part of the suburb inside the Carina State School catchment; Vickers and Laurie Streets below them read as Whites Hill State College.

Suits Families who want Westfield, the bus interchange and Carina State School within a ten-minute walk and do not mind the shopping centre traffic on a Saturday.

2The Winstanley Street spine

Winstanley Street and Gallipoli Road, with Willard, Chataway, Macalister, Buckley and Summerville Streets either side

Routes 204, 205 and the peak-hour 206 Rocket all run along Winstanley Street and Gallipoli Road, so this is the part of the suburb where a family can manage with one car. Willard Street Park and Buckley Street Park sit a block apart, and Buckley Street backs onto bushland at its western end. Solid 1960s to 1980s brick homes on 600 to 670 square metres, a few with dual living underneath.

Suits Buyers who want a bus to the city at the end of the street and Thai Antique for the Friday takeaway. The pocket most Carina Heights briefs start with.

3The Anzac roads

Anzac Road, Birdwood Road, Salonica Road and Mons Road, with Osterley Road, Herbertson Road and Hill Crescent on the northern edge

The First World War street names mark the northern slice of the suburb. Anzac Road Park has the playground, and the Old Cleveland Road strip in Carina is a five-minute walk across the suburb line. The primary catchment splits here between Whites Hill State College and Carina State School, so the exact address matters.

Suits Families who want Old Cleveland Road's cafes, Elio's, the pharmacy and the 200 and 222 buses on foot, with a quieter street than Carina itself.

4The Camp Hill side

Jones Road, Samuel Street, Abbott Street, Cambridge Street and Indus Street

The western streets run straight into Camp Hill along Samuel Street and Jones Road, so Woolworths, the chemist and the Marketplace GP are a walk. Jones Road Park and Abbott Street Park are the local greens. Wholly inside the Whites Hill State College catchment on our read of the map.

Suits Buyers who want Camp Hill Marketplace and Martha Street within walking distance at a Carina Heights price, and Whites Hill State College for both primary and high school.

5The reserve edge and Pine Mountain

Kildare, Gyranda, McGahan and Warenda Streets against the reserve, then Olivia Drive, Tirrabella Street, Bendena Terrace, Beaumont and Cutuli Streets off Pine Mountain Road

Streets end in Whites Hill Reserve, Kildare Street looks across to the Gateway Bridge and the port, and blocks on Gallipoli Road backing onto the bush run close to 1,000 square metres. The Pine Mountain end is younger, with 1990s brick homes on 600 square metre blocks and Pacific Golf Club across the road. These lots sit in the bushfire buffer. Kildare, Gyranda, McGahan and Warenda Streets stay Whites Hill State College for primary and secondary, while Olivia Drive, Beaumont Street, Bendena Terrace and the Pine Mountain Road end fall to Mount Gravatt East State School and Cavendish Road State High, so check both before you inspect.

Suits Families who want bush at the end of the street, a view from the deck and a bigger block, and are happy to drive to the shops. The dearest houses in the suburb are here.

Schools and catchments

No school sits inside Carina Heights, so the suburb is shared out among the neighbours' catchments. On the Queensland Government catchment layer, Whites Hill State College in Camp Hill takes about 53 percent of the suburb's area for primary and about 65 percent for secondary, and most of the homes at both levels. Carina State School takes the hill and the Creek Road side, about a fifth; Mount Gravatt East State School takes the Pine Mountain Road end around Olivia Drive; Seville Road State School's share is almost all reserve bushland. For Years 7 to 12, Cavendish Road State High covers the reserve and the Olivia Drive and Beaumont Street end, about a third of the area but only a few streets of houses. Check the exact address on EdMap before you count on a school, and ask us which side of the line a house sits on before you inspect.

State primary

Whites Hill State College (primary)Prep to 6

Prep to Year 6 within the Prep to Year 12 college on Burn Street, Camp Hill, and the catchment for the western and central streets of Carina Heights, about 53 percent of the suburb's area and about 70 percent of its addresses. No enrolment management plan was listed for it on the department's site on 25 September, though the college asks out-of-catchment applicants for two recent report cards and takes expressions of interest up to twelve months ahead.

138 Burn Street, Camp Hill QLD 4152MapWebsite

Carina State SchoolPrep to 6

Prep to Year 6 on Creek Road at the Carindale end, a small school of about 370 students. Its catchment takes the hill and the Creek Road side of Carina Heights, about a fifth of the suburb. No enrolment management plan was listed on 25 September, so the enrolment is not capped, and a strict uniform school by its own description.

1413 Creek Road, Carindale QLD 4152MapWebsite

Mount Gravatt East State SchoolPrep to 6

Prep to Year 6 on Wecker Road, opposite Bunnings. Its catchment takes the south-eastern corner of Carina Heights around Olivia Drive, Beaumont Street, Bendena Terrace and the Pine Mountain Road end. No enrolment management plan was listed on 25 September.

35 Wecker Road, Mount Gravatt East QLD 4122MapWebsite

Seville Road State SchoolPrep to 6

Prep to Year 6 at the corner of Oates Avenue and Roscoe Street, Holland Park. Its catchment reaches into the south-western corner of Carina Heights, but that corner is almost all Whites Hill Reserve: on the 2026 polygons only a couple of Pine Mountain Road addresses fall its way. No enrolment management plan was listed on 25 September, and in-catchment families are guaranteed a place.

Cnr Oates Avenue and Roscoe Street, Holland Park QLD 4121MapWebsite

Holland Park State SchoolPrep to 6

Prep to Year 6 on Abbotsleigh Street. Equidistant catchment under an enrolment management plan gazetted 22 August 2025, capped at 958 students and 125 into Prep. It touches the edge of Carina Heights only: a sliver of the far south-western corner inside the reserve, with no address in it on the 2026 polygons.

59 Abbotsleigh Street, Holland Park QLD 4121MapWebsite

State secondary

Whites Hill State College (secondary)Years 7 to 12

Years 7 to 12 on the same Burn Street campus as its primary years, and the state high school for about two thirds of Carina Heights by area and almost all of its houses. Prep to 12 on one campus, so a family on the Camp Hill side can settle one school for thirteen years. No enrolment management plan was listed on 25 September.

138 Burn Street, Camp Hill QLD 4152MapWebsite

Cavendish Road State High SchoolYears 7 to 12

Years 7 to 12 at Cavendish and Holland Roads, Holland Park, and the school that moves prices on the southern side. Its catchment covers about a third of Carina Heights by area, but most of that is Whites Hill Reserve: the houses inside it are around Olivia Drive, Beaumont Street and the Pine Mountain Road end. Buckley and Kildare Streets read as Whites Hill. A negotiated catchment under an enrolment management plan gazetted 22 August 2025, capped at 2,016 students, with a waiting list for out-of-catchment applications and places held for its programs of excellence, so the in-catchment address is the whole game.

Cnr Cavendish and Holland Roads, Holland Park QLD 4121MapWebsite

Catholic and independent

St Martin's Catholic Primary SchoolPrep to 6

Co-educational Catholic primary, Prep to Year 6, on Broadway Street in Carina, a five-minute drive from the hill. Brisbane Catholic Education, and the school is already taking applications for 2028.

66 Broadway Street, Carina QLD 4152MapWebsite

San Sisto CollegeYears 7 to 12

Girls, Years 7 to 12, about 800 students, on Mayfield Road in Carina beside Carina Library. Small enough that every student is known, by the college's own account, and the closest girls' secondary to Carina Heights.

97 Mayfield Road, Carina QLD 4152MapWebsite

Citipointe Christian CollegePrep to 12

Co-educational, Prep to Year 12, on Wecker Road in Carindale, a five-minute drive down Pine Mountain Road. The one-campus option for families who want the whole run in one place.

322 Wecker Road, Carindale QLD 4152MapWebsite

Villanova CollegeYears 5 to 12

Boys, Years 5 to 12, Augustinian, on Sixth Avenue in Coorparoo. Ten minutes by car along Old Cleveland Road or the 200 bus from Carina.

24 Sixth Avenue, Coorparoo QLD 4151MapWebsite

Loreto College Coorparoo

Girls, Year 5 and Year 7 entry, on Cavendish Road in Coorparoo. Year 7 for 2026 is fully enrolled and 2027 and 2028 are wait pool only, so apply years ahead.

26 Arrowsmith Street, Camp Hill QLD 4152MapWebsite

Five primary catchments and two secondary catchments touch Carina Heights, and the Cavendish Road State High line is the one that moves prices. It runs along the south-eastern streets off Pine Mountain Road, so two houses a street apart there can sit in different high schools. We pull the EdMap for the exact lot before every inspection and ring the school if the answer matters.

Bus

Winstanley Street and Gallipoli Road carry the suburb's own buses. Route 204 runs from the Carindale interchange along Winstanley Street to the city and Fortitude Valley via Old Cleveland Road every ten minutes in the morning peak, about fifty minutes to Queen Street on the all-stops run. Route 205 is the express: Winstanley Street at Willard Street to George Street in about 22 minutes via Camp Hill and the Buranda busway, roughly hourly outside the peak. The 206 Rocket runs peak hours only along Gallipoli Road to Queen Street via the busway. Routes 202 and 203 loop through Gallipoli Road and Buckley Street to the PA Hospital about hourly. The northern streets are a five-minute walk to stop 35 on Old Cleveland Road at Carina, where the 200 and the 222 via the Eastern Busway run every ten minutes to the city. The Carindale interchange at Westfield has everything else, including the 177 to Griffith University and the Great Circle Line.

The houses

What is here
Almost entirely post-war. 1950s and 60s timber and brick homes on the hill and the Winstanley Street streets, many lifted and built in underneath; 1970s and 80s two-storey brick on the reserve edge and Gallipoli Road, some with dual living; and 1990s brick homes on the Pine Mountain Road end. About one dwelling in five is a unit or townhouse, mostly along Creek Road and Winstanley Street.
Block sizes
600 to 670 square metres is normal, with a corner block or a reserve frontage running bigger: a Gallipoli Road house backing onto the bush sold on 987 square metres in 2025. A family gets a yard, and usually a slope with it.
Character overlays
There is very little pre-1947 housing, so the traditional building character overlay barely touches the suburb; the sample lots we checked on Buckley Street and Gaffney Street sit outside it, in the low density residential zone with a 9.5 metre, two-storey height limit. The overlay that does matter is bushfire: lots on the reserve edge and the hill sit inside the medium and high bushfire hazard buffer, which shapes what you can build and what the insurer asks. Check both on City Plan before you plan a rebuild.
How it was built
  1. 1950s to 60sTimber and brick homes go up on the hill and the Winstanley Street streets on 600 to 650 square metre blocks.
  2. 1970s to 80sTwo-storey brick begins on the reserve edge and Gallipoli Road, and in 1975 Carina Heights is split off from Carina.
  3. 1990sBrick homes on 600 square metre blocks fill the Pine Mountain Road end, opposite Pacific Golf Club.
  4. NowMany post-war homes have been lifted and built in underneath, and units and townhouses line Creek Road and Winstanley Street.

What the money buys

Under $1m

A two- or three-bedroom townhouse or unit along Creek Road or Winstanley Street. Our published Carina Heights purchases start at $751,000.

$1.7m to $2.5m

A reworked four- to six-bedroom home on the reserve edge, a Kildare Street view or a big block backing onto the bush. The top of the suburb.

What to check before you buy in Carina Heights

Flood

Carina Heights is high ground and neither sample lot we checked carries a river or creek flood overlay, but the gullies between the ridges are overland flow paths and the low ground toward Bulimba Creek on the Carindale side can hold water. Pull the FloodWise Property Report for the exact lot and look at the overland flow layer, not just creek flooding, before you make an offer.

Flood Awareness MapFloodWise Property Report

Noise

Three things to listen for. Creek Road and Winstanley Street traffic to and from Westfield, worst on Saturdays. Trucks on Pine Mountain Road to the materials recycling facility in the old quarry. And aircraft: type the address into the Brisbane Airport flight path tool, then stand in the backyard at 7am and again at 9pm.

Brisbane Airport flight path tool

Overlays and approvals

Bushfire hazard buffer on the reserve edge and the hill, and low density residential zoning almost everywhere. City Plan's interactive mapping shows every overlay on the lot, and Development.i shows what the neighbours have been approved to build.

City Plan mappingDevelopment.i

Catchments

Five primary and two secondary catchments, and the Cavendish Road State High line runs through the south-eastern streets off Pine Mountain Road. Check the lot on EdMap, then ring the school.

Queensland EdMap

Red flags

  • A reserve-edge house in the high bushfire buffer with no insurance quote in hand. Get the quote before the building and pest, not after.
  • A 1960s or 70s house that has been built in underneath without the approvals on file, sold as dual living. Ask for the council records before you fall for the second kitchen.
  • A steep driveway on the hill or the reserve edge that looks fine on a sunny inspection. Walk it with a pram in mind, and in the rain if you can.

Where the value sits

  • An original post-war three-bedder on a 600 square metre block in the Whites Hill State College catchment, outside the character overlay, that can be reworked without heritage hurdles.
  • The Olivia Drive and Beaumont Street end, which sits in both the Cavendish Road State High catchment and walking distance of the reserve. They come up rarely and go quietly.
  • A Winstanley Street or Gallipoli Road house one street back from the bus, where the price does not yet reflect the one-car life it allows.

Buying in Carina Heights: the questions we get

It depends on the street. Whites Hill State College in Camp Hill takes about half the suburb's area for primary and about two thirds for high school, and most of the homes at both levels. Carina State School takes the hill and the Creek Road side, Mount Gravatt East State School takes the Pine Mountain Road end, and Cavendish Road State High takes the Olivia Drive and Beaumont Street end for Years 7 to 12. Check the exact address on EdMap and ask us which side of the line a house sits on.

The suburb is high ground and the lots we have checked carry no river or creek flood overlay. The things to check are overland flow in the gullies and the low ground toward Bulimba Creek on the Carindale side. Every Carina Heights purchase we make starts with the FloodWise report.

By bus. Route 205 from Winstanley Street reaches George Street in about 22 minutes via the Buranda busway, the 206 Rocket runs along Gallipoli Road in the peak, and the 204 runs every ten minutes in the morning on the slower all-stops route. The northern streets can walk to the 200 and 222 on Old Cleveland Road. By car it is twenty to twenty-five minutes outside the peak. There is no station.

The streets that back onto the reserve and the hill sit inside Brisbane City Council's bushfire hazard buffer. That does not stop you buying there, but it shapes what you can build and what the insurer charges. Get the insurance quote before the building and pest.

In 2026, a renovated post-war three-bedder on 600 to 670 square metres on the hill or the Winstanley Street streets, or an original four-bedder that needs work. Our published Carina Heights purchases run from $751,000 for a townhouse to $1,200,000.

Camp Hill has Martha Street, its own primary school and the higher price. Carina Heights has Westfield across the road, the same reserve from the other side, more 1970s brick and a lower entry price, with the catchment lines to check. Families who want the village usually end up in Camp Hill; families who want the yard and the shops in one car trip look at Carina Heights.
