Where Murarrie sits

Murarrie is on the southern bank of the Brisbane River about nine kilometres east of the CBD, where Bulimba Creek meets the river under the Gateway Bridge. Most of the suburb is industry and business park: Queensport, Gibson Island, the Metroplex and the old meatworks and printing sites along Lytton Road. The family part is a compact residential pocket in the south-west, between Lytton Road, Creek Road and the Cleveland line, with its own station, its own small state school and the Cannon Hill shops across Wynnum Road. About 4,900 people live here, and the houses are closer to the city than the price suggests.

Boundaries
The Brisbane River to the north. Bulimba Creek along the east and south, with Hemmant and Tingalpa across it. Wynnum Road, Creek Road, the Cleveland line, Barrack Road, Lytton Road and Colmslie Road on the south-western and western side, with Cannon Hill and Morningside beyond.
The roads
Lytton Road (the industrial spine and the run west to the city). Wynnum Road (the southern edge and the Cannon Hill shops). Creek Road (south to Carindale and the 590 bus). The Gateway Motorway (through the suburb to the airport over the Sir Leo Hielscher Bridges)

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 school and station streets

Garrett Street, Wareela Street, Billungah Street, Tamba Street, Herbert Street, Walter Street, Railway Terrace, Murarrie Road, Northcliffe Street and Rawlinson Street

The original residential streets around Murarrie State School on Garrett Street and the station on Railway Terrace. Post-war and 1970s houses on 600 to 650 square metre blocks, many still original. A recent Wareela Street sale was a 1973 house on 598 square metres. Garrett, Wareela and Herbert Streets were clear of flood mapping on our sample; the lower ends of Northcliffe Street, Rawlinson Street and Murarrie Road were not.

Suits Families who want the train and the primary school at the end of the street.

2The Granite Belt streets

Ballandean Street, Severnlea Street, Pikedale Street, Glenniven Street, Mingoola Street, Eukey Street, Dalcouth Street, Penelope Street and Woodanga Street

The northern streets toward Lytton Road, most of them named for Granite Belt towns. A mix of 1960s and 70s houses, later infill and reproduction Queenslanders on smaller lots: a 2001 home on Woodanga Street sat on 405 square metres. Clear of flood mapping on our sample. Lytton Road and its trucks are the northern edge, so check how close the back fence is.

Suits Families who want a quiet grid a few minutes from the school, the station and the Gateway.

3The Village estate

Village Circuit, Gregory Boulevard, Condamine Boulevard, Mitchell Boulevard, Carnarvon Way, Calliope Circuit, Moonie Avenue, Menindee Street and the lanes off them

The newer estate between Creek Road and Barrack Road, built around its own parks: Village Common, Village Square, Stockyard Park, Central Park and the Park Hill Outlook. Smaller lots, newer homes and townhouses, and a walk to Cannon Hill station, Kmart Plaza and Cannon Central. Evergreen Close and Rosewood Place at the low edge carry creek flood mapping; the boulevards were clear on our sample.

Suits Families who want a newer house, parks inside the estate and the Cannon Hill shops on foot.

4Barrack Road and the Cannon Hill edge

Hillview Street, Wattle Street, Bunya Street, Kevin Court, Ascort Street, Greenstead Street, Barrack Road and Armstrong Road

The western streets up against Cannon Hill. Barrack Road is where the primary catchment changes: the complex at 123 Barrack Road falls to Cannon Hill State School rather than Murarrie, as do Armstrong Road and Grenade Street beside the station, which are in Cannon Hill itself. Cannon Hill Anglican College is a few minutes west on Junction Road.

Suits Families who want Cannon Hill station and the Cannon Hill shops with a Murarrie price.

Schools and catchments

Almost all of Murarrie's housing sits in the Murarrie State School catchment for primary and the Balmoral State High School catchment for secondary. The one exception is a single complex at 123 Barrack Road, near Cannon Hill station, which falls to Cannon Hill State School; Armstrong Road and Grenade Street, across the line, are Cannon Hill addresses. Check the exact address on EdMap before you count on a school.

Balmoral State High runs an enrolment management plan, so the in-catchment address is what secures the place. Check the Barrack Road edge on EdMap before you assume Murarrie State School.

The houses

What is here
Post-war and 1960s and 70s houses in the school and station streets, later infill and reproduction Queenslanders on the northern streets, and newer houses and townhouses in the Village estate. Of the 2,067 dwellings at the 2021 census, 1,761 were houses and 322 units or townhouses.
Block sizes
600 to 650 square metres in the older streets: a recent Murarrie Road sale was 647 and a Wareela Street sale 598. Infill and newer homes sit on smaller lots, 405 on Woodanga Street and 450 on Lytton Road. The Village estate lots are smaller again.
Character overlays
Murarrie has no traditional building character overlay on our street sample, and the older houses are mostly post-war. What shapes a purchase here is the industrial zoning next door, creek flood mapping toward Bulimba Creek, and the transport noise corridor along the Gateway, Lytton Road and the rail line. Check the lot on City Plan before you plan.
How it was built
  1. Post-warThe original streets around Murarrie State School and the station filled first, on 600 to 650 square metre blocks.
  2. 1960s and 70sHouses spread through the Granite Belt streets toward Lytton Road, most named for Granite Belt towns.
  3. 2000sInfill and reproduction Queenslanders took smaller lots, like a 2001 home on Woodanga Street on 405 square metres.
  4. NowNewer houses and townhouses fill the Village estate between Creek Road and Barrack Road, built around its own parks.

What to check before you buy in Murarrie

Flood

Bulimba Creek runs along the eastern and southern edge, and the river along the north. Our street sample found the February 2022 flood extent on parts of Northcliffe Street, Rawlinson Street, Murarrie Road and Goodman Place, and the 1 percent annual chance extent also on Evergreen Close, Rosewood Place and Grenade Street. The school streets, the Granite Belt streets and the Village boulevards were clear. Pull the FloodWise Property Report for the exact lot, ask for the floor levels, and get an insurance quote before the building and pest.

Flood Awareness MapFloodWise Property Report

Noise

The Gateway Motorway, the Cleveland line and the freight on Lytton Road all run through or beside the residential pocket, and the airport is directly across the river. Check the address on the Brisbane Airport flight path tool, then stand in the backyard at 7am and again at 9pm. Listen for trucks and trains as well as planes.

Brisbane Airport flight path tool

Overlays and approvals

The industrial zoning around the residential pocket, the transport noise corridor and creek flood mapping are the three to check. City Plan's interactive mapping shows every overlay on the lot, and Development.i shows what the neighbours, including the industrial ones, have been approved to build.

City Plan mappingDevelopment.i

Catchments

One primary and one secondary catchment for almost every house: Murarrie State School and Balmoral State High, which runs an enrolment management plan. One complex on the Barrack Road edge falls to Cannon Hill State School. Check the lot on EdMap, then ring the school.

Queensland EdMap

Red flags

  • A house backing onto an industrial lot or Lytton Road, priced like a quiet-street house. Check what operates behind the fence and when.
  • A low lot toward Bulimba Creek or on Northcliffe Street, Rawlinson Street or the bottom of Murarrie Road bought without the FloodWise report.
  • A downstairs built in to full height with no approval on file. Ask for the council records before you pay for the extra bedroom.

Where the value sits

  • An original post-war house on 600 square metres in the school streets, walking distance to Murarrie station and the state school, at a lower price than the same house in Cannon Hill.
  • The Village estate for families who want a newer home and parks at the door, a walk from Kmart Plaza and Cannon Hill station.
  • Anyone who travels: the Gateway is in the suburb and some trains run straight to the Domestic Airport.

Buying in Murarrie: the questions we get

Murarrie State School for primary and Balmoral State High for secondary, for almost every house. One complex near Cannon Hill station, 123 Barrack Road, is in the Cannon Hill State School catchment. Check the exact address on EdMap.

Most of its land is: Queensport, Gibson Island, the Metroplex and the Lytton Road sites. The housing sits in a compact pocket in the south-west between Lytton Road, Creek Road and the railway, with its own school and station. Check what sits behind the back fence before you buy.

The low ground toward Bulimba Creek does. The February 2022 flood extent reached parts of Northcliffe Street, Rawlinson Street and Murarrie Road. The school streets and the Village boulevards were clear on our sample. Pull the FloodWise report for any address.

Murarrie station on the Cleveland line, about 28 minutes to Central on the current timetable with ten trains between 7am and 9am. By car it is about twenty minutes outside the peak, and the airport is ten to fifteen minutes up the Gateway.

In 2026, a tidy or renovated three-bedroom house on a full block in the older streets. The three-bedroom median for the year to September 2026 was $1.2 million and four-bedders sat around $1.35 million.

Cannon Hill has the shops, more streets and more choice of schools. Murarrie shares the same shops across Wynnum Road, has its own station and a simpler catchment, and usually costs less for the same house. The trade is industry and the Gateway nearby.
