Hunter Gather has bought 4 properties in Norman Park for clients since 2026. Norman Park sits inside our Brisbane buying area, which our agents cover street by street rather than from a desk.

Where the buyer agreed to publish the price, Norman Park purchases ranged from $1,275,000 to $2,780,000 (3 of 4 published). The rest settled privately at the buyer's request.

The buying in Norman Park was done by Jacob Butler and Chavonne Olivier. Whoever you speak to first, the search runs on the same shared database and the same weekly cadence.

Where Norman Park sits

Norman Park is the quiet middle of the inner east: 6.3 kilometres east of the CBD on the southern bank, 2.3 square kilometres of it, tucked between Norman Creek on the west and the Bulimba peninsula's suburbs to the north. Hawthorne sits above it, Morningside and Seven Hills to the east, Camp Hill and Coorparoo to the south, East Brisbane across the creek. One arterial, Wynnum Road, clips the northern edge; the Cleveland line runs through the centre with its own station; and everything in between is residential streets on two hills and the flats between them. It is the suburb families move to when they want Hawthorne's neighbours at a Coorparoo price and a train at the end of the street.

Boundaries
Norman Creek to the west, where the tidal creek runs up past Churchie's playing fields toward Stones Corner. The Brisbane River touches the northern tip for a few hundred metres at the old ferry terminal off Wynnum Road. Wynnum Road and Hawthorne Road mark the Hawthorne line to the north, Bennetts Road runs north to south through the eastern half toward Balmoral Cemetery and Morningside, and Stanley Street East and the Coorparoo streets close the south.
The roads
Wynnum Road (the only through road, along the northern edge: the buses, the Norman Creek bridge, the run to the Gabba). Bennetts Road (the village strip and the school run, north to south through the east of the suburb). Stanley Street East (the southern edge, into Coorparoo and the Norman Creek path). McIlwraith Avenue and Milsom Street (the 210 and 211 bus route through the south-east)

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.

1Galloways Hill and the school streets

Waldo, Wendell and Balmoral Streets, Norman Crescent, Overend Street, and Agnew, Hipwood and School Streets around the state school

The northern hill, named for the ridge the 1924 Anglican church was built on, with MacPherson's Outlook at the top of Waldo Street looking straight down the river to the city. Norman Park State School has held the summit since 1900. Dovetail on Overend is the morning stop, Club Lime and the Hawthorne Road shops sit at the Wynnum Road corner, and Hardcastle Park's ferry is a fifteen-minute walk north. The houses are the suburb's oldest and the streets the steepest.

Suits Families who want the state school, the coffee and the CityCat all on foot, and the city skyline from the front steps.

2The station streets and the poets' grid

Corrie Street and Railway Parade at the station, Scott, Rome and Vectis Streets, and Tennyson, Longfellow, Thackeray and Wordsworth Streets behind them

The working middle of the suburb around the 1911 timber station, which is heritage-listed and still has its footbridge. Rollo Park, Vectis Street Park and the fenced dog park are the local green. The low ground here follows Scott's Creek, the drain that runs under these streets to Norman Creek, and Scott, Milton and Wordsworth Streets carried river water in January 2011, so this is a pocket where the floor level matters as much as the floor plan.

Suits Commuters with young children: the train is a five-minute walk, the state school ten, and the house is a post-war three-bedder on a flat block.

3Bennetts Road village

Bennetts Road between Stanley Street East and Acfold Street, with Pattison Avenue, Beak Street, Hall Avenue and Myall Street off it

The suburb's own strip: Foodworks, Golden K Bakery, Hello Garry for the early coffee, Happy Cafe, Red Galanga for Friday night, the pharmacy, the newsagent and the family practice, with Pattison Park's playground and tennis court a block behind. Route 212 stops outside. The Norman Park State School catchment ends near Acfold and Myall Streets; south and east of there the address falls to Seven Hills State School, so check the lot before you count on the walk to school.

Suits Families who want the bakery, the supermarket, the GP and the bus at the end of the street, and a bigger yard than the station streets give.

4The Eulalia hill

McIlwraith, Real, Macrossan and Morehead Avenues, Patrick, Judge, Joseph, Katherine and Hume Streets, out to Perth Street Park and Ferguson Road

The south-eastern hill takes its name from Eulalia, the 1889 brick villa at 75 McIlwraith Avenue that Judge Patrick Real built and the Hancock family restored from 1938, under its bunyas and jacarandas. The avenues around it are the suburb's dearest addresses. Seven Hills State School is the catchment for most of it, with the Real Avenue and McIlwraith Avenue edge falling to Coorparoo State School, and the 210 and 211 buses run along McIlwraith Avenue to the city.

Suits Buyers who want the biggest houses in the suburb, the views toward the city and the quietest streets, and are happy to drive to the station.

5The Norman Creek edge: Wynnum Road flats to Bottomley Park

Norman Avenue, Gillan, Pope and Donaldson Streets off Wynnum Road in the north-west, and Hope, Landsdowne, Adina, Waite, Halifax, Milsom and Crown Streets around Bottomley Park in the south-west

Two flat pockets along the creek. In the north-west, Wilson Park, Overend Street Park and the Smith Fields beside Churchie sit on reclaimed low ground along the creek below Wynnum Road, and the 2011 flood reached Wynnum Road, Norman Avenue, Gillan and Pope Streets. In the south-west, C.P. Bottomley Park is home to Easts Tigers rugby, the Norman Creek path runs off the end of Stanley Street East, and Goodstart Tiber Street is over the Coorparoo line. Canara and Hope Streets sit in Norman Park State School's catchment, and the lower end of Bennetts Road and MacDonald Street in Coorparoo State School's.

Suits Families who want the creek path, the rugby club and the Coorparoo schools within a walk, and who will read the FloodWise report before the contract.

Schools and catchments

Norman Park has one school of its own, the heritage-listed state primary on the hill at Agnew Street, and it takes about three fifths of the suburb. The south-east falls to Seven Hills State School and the southern streets near Coorparoo to Coorparoo State School. All three are capped under enrolment management plans. Secondary is simpler: Coorparoo Secondary College for almost every address, and it is the one state school here without a cap. There is no Catholic primary inside the suburb since Our Lady of the Assumption closed in 1973; the nearest are in Coorparoo. 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

Norman Park State SchoolPrep to 6 · Cap 469

Prep to Year 6 at 68 to 88 Agnew Street, open since July 1900 in a red brick building the community paid a sixth of, heritage-listed in 2017 with its 1930s retaining walls and terraces. An equidistant catchment covering the northern and central streets, about 60 percent of the suburb. Enrolment management plan gazetted 22 August 2025: a cap of 469 students and Prep limited to 100 places in four classrooms unless more in-catchment children enrol. In-catchment families have a right to enrol; out-of-catchment Prep applications are considered but not something to plan on.

68 to 88 Agnew Street, Norman Park QLD 4170MapWebsite

Seven Hills State SchoolPrep to 6 · Cap 518

Prep to Year 6 at 152 D'Arcy Road in Seven Hills, a five-minute drive or a walk along Bennetts Road for the southern end. Its equidistant catchment takes the south-eastern third of Norman Park: the Eulalia hill, Bennetts Road south of Acfold Street, Hume Street and Perth Street Park. Enrolment management plan gazetted 22 August 2025: a cap of 518 students and Prep limited to 100 in four classrooms.

152 D'Arcy Road, Seven Hills QLD 4170MapWebsite

Coorparoo State SchoolPrep to 6 · Cap 848

Prep to Year 6 at 327 Old Cleveland Road, heritage-listed and open since 1876. Its equidistant catchment reaches north into the southern streets of Norman Park around Bottomley Park: the lower end of Bennetts Road, MacDonald Street to about number 44 and the lower Real Avenue numbers on the edge of the Eulalia hill, about a tenth of the suburb's area. Enrolment management plan gazetted 22 August 2025: a cap of 848 students and Prep limited to 125 in five classrooms.

327 Old Cleveland Road, Coorparoo QLD 4151MapWebsite

State secondary

Coorparoo Secondary CollegeYears 7 to 12

Years 7 to 12 at the corner of Stanley Street East and Cavendish Road in Coorparoo, open since 1963, a ten-minute walk from the Bottomley Park end and the state high school for almost every Norman Park address. It has no enrolment management plan, so places are not capped the way they are at Balmoral or Cavendish Road. Smaller than its neighbours, with junior and senior schools and a vocational pathway.

Corner of Stanley Street East and Cavendish Road, Coorparoo QLD 4151MapWebsite

Balmoral State High SchoolYears 7 to 12 · Cap 1,023

Years 7 to 12 at the corner of Thynne and Lytton Roads, Morningside. Its equidistant catchment touches only the northern tip of Norman Park along Wynnum Road near the Hawthorne Road corner. It runs an enrolment management plan with a cap of 1,023 students, gazetted 24 October 2025, so the in-catchment address is the whole game.

Corner of Thynne and Lytton Roads, Morningside QLD 4170MapWebsite

Catholic and independent

Anglican Church Grammar School (Churchie)Prep to 12

Boys, Prep to Year 12, on Oaklands Parade in East Brisbane, directly across Norman Creek. Its Smith Fields sit on the Norman Park side of the creek off Wynnum Road, so for the northern half of the suburb Churchie is a walk over the bridge.

Oaklands Parade, East Brisbane QLD 4169MapWebsite

Lourdes Hill CollegeYears 5 to 12

Girls, Years 5 to 12, on Hawthorne Road since 1916, a five-minute walk up the hill from the Wynnum Road corner. The reason some families choose the northern streets.

159 Hawthorne Road, Hawthorne QLD 4171MapWebsite

Three primary catchments touch Norman Park, and the Norman Park State School line is the one that moves prices: it runs roughly through Acfold and Myall Streets on the Bennetts Road side and along Railway Parade toward the station, so two houses a street apart can sit in different schools. We pull the EdMap for the exact lot before every inspection and ring the school before you make an offer.

Getting around

CBD by train15 minFrom Norman Park station on the Cleveland line
CBD by car10 to 15 minWynnum Road, outside the peak
CityCat to Riverside22 minFrom Hawthorne terminal, a fifteen-minute walk from the northern streets

Bus

Route 227 runs Wynnum to the city along Wynnum Road, with stops at the Norman Creek bridge, Norman Avenue, Norman Crescent, Waldo Street and Balmoral Street; the 230, 232 and 235 use the same stops at the northern tip on their way to Hawthorne and Bulimba. Route 212 runs Fortitude Valley to Carindale along Bennetts Road through the village, and the 210 and 211 run Cannon Hill to the Valley and the city along Milsom Street and McIlwraith Avenue past Bottomley Park. Off-peak frequency is thin on all of them, so check the timetable for the street you are looking at rather than the suburb.

Route 227 timetableRoute 212 timetable

Ferry

Norman Park had its own cross-river ferry to New Farm Park off Wynnum Road until July 2020, when Council pulled the old wooden-hulled fleet; the wharf closed for good that October, and residents were still lobbying Council to bring it back in 2021. The nearest CityCat is now Hawthorne at Hardcastle Park, about 1.5 kilometres up Hawthorne Road from the Wynnum Road corner, a fifteen-minute walk from the northern streets, with Riverside in the CBD about 22 minutes downstream.

CityCat and ferry timetables

Train

Norman Park station on Corrie Street is the suburb's own stop on the Cleveland line, opened in 1911 and heritage-listed for its timber building and footbridge, a ground-level station with two side platforms in the middle of the suburb. Coorparoo is one stop toward the city, Morningside one stop out. Cleveland line trains run through to Bowen Hills, Northgate and Shorncliffe, and some Airport line services stop here too. About fifteen minutes to Central; check the timetable for the express pattern.

Train timetable

Road

Ten to fifteen minutes to the CBD by car outside the peak, via Wynnum Road and the Gabba or Stanley Street East and Vulture Street. Westfield Carindale in fifteen along Old Cleveland Road. The airport is twenty to twenty-five minutes via Wynnum Road and the Gateway Motorway, a toll each way.

Bus routes

Route numbers named in the bus notes above. Timetables on Translink.

Pinch points Wynnum Road is the one arterial and it queues from the Norman Creek bridge back past Norman Avenue toward the Gabba from 7am. Bennetts Road is the school run for the south of the suburb between 8am and 8.45am. The rail line runs through the middle of the suburb at grade, and the freight line to the port branches off just north of the station, so the streets either side hear trains outside passenger hours. Easts home games fill the streets around Bottomley Park on winter Saturdays. Inspect a Wynnum Road or rail-side house at 7.30am and again at 5.30pm before you decide the noise does not bother you.

Weekends

C.P. Bottomley Park and Easts TigersIn the suburbThe suburb's sporting ground at 31 Halifax Street, home of Easts Rugby Union since 1947: five Queensland premierships, a clubhouse and three fields, with juniors from Tiger Cubs at under 6 up to under 16 and a junior girls' program. Winter Saturdays are rugby here; summer belongs to the cricket club on the same fields.

  • MacPherson's OutlookIn the suburb

    The lookout at 20 Waldo Street that Ernest MacPherson left to the city in 1942, on Council's heritage register, with the view down the river to the CBD. The Sunday walk with the pram.

  • The Norman Creek pathIn the suburb

    A flat shared path along the creek from the Stanley Street East end through Coorparoo's Langlands Park and The Common to Stones Corner and Greenslopes, about four kilometres, with the Coorparoo skate park at The Common on Cambridge Street. The pram loop and the bike ride to the pool.

  • Pattison Park and Bennett's Bushland ParkIn the suburb

    Pattison Park behind the Bennetts Road strip has the playground and a tennis court; Bennett's Bushland Park a few hundred metres north on Bennetts Road is a pocket of bushland with the 212 stop at its gate. The after-school circuit for the village end.

    Pattison Avenue, Norman Park QLD 4170MapWebsite

  • Rollo Park, Vectis Street Park and the dog parkIn the suburb

    The station-side parks along Scott's Creek: Rollo Park at 15 Scott Street, Vectis Street Park with its playground next door, and the fenced off-leash dog park between them. Reclaimed creek flats from the 1940s and 50s, which is why they are flat and why they hold water in a big wet.

    15 Scott Street, Norman Park QLD 4170MapWebsite

  • The heritage walkIn the suburb

    Five listed places in a suburb of 2.3 square kilometres: the 1900 state school on Agnew Street, the 1911 station on Corrie Street, Eulalia at 75 McIlwraith Avenue, MacPherson's Outlook on Waldo Street and the former tramways substation at 97 Wynnum Road, plus the 1924 Church of the Transfiguration at 40 Agnew Street, now a private home. Trams ran along Wynnum Road from 1903 and a steam tram to Belmont left the station between 1912 and 1926.

  • Hawthorne Park, Hardcastle Park and the river10 min walk

    Ten minutes' walk north: the fenced all-abilities Livvi's Place playground and the off-leash park at Hawthorne Park, then fish and chips on the river at Hardcastle Park and the CityCat across to New Farm Park and the Powerhouse. Most Norman Park families treat the peninsula as their own weekend.

    Hawthorne Road, Hawthorne QLD 4171MapWebsite

The houses

What is here
Queenslanders and interwar homes on the two hills, around the state school in the north and the Eulalia avenues in the south-east, from the 1887 Norman Park Estate and the 1922 subdivision of the Hope land. Post-war timber and brick on the flats and around the station, much of it originally built as public housing after the war. Units and townhouses along Wynnum Road and near the station: 661 of the suburb's 2,821 dwellings, and 26 unit sales against 92 house sales in the twelve months to September 2026.
Block sizes
Around 600 square metres is typical, smaller on the station streets, bigger on the Eulalia hill where the 1880s subdivision left wide avenues. A family gets a yard here that the same money does not buy in Hawthorne.
Character overlays
The traditional building character overlay covers the pre-1947 pockets on both hills, which protects the street-facing form of the older Queenslanders and steers extensions to the rear, and pre-1911 houses cannot be demolished. Most of the post-war flats sit outside it, which is why so many station-street houses have been lifted, built under or replaced. Five places carry heritage listings. Check the overlay on City Plan before you plan the lift and build.
How it was built
  1. 1887The Norman Park Estate was cut up, and the first Queenslanders went up on the two hills.
  2. 1889Judge Patrick Real built Eulalia, the brick villa on McIlwraith Avenue that named the south-eastern hill.
  3. 1900Norman Park State School took the summit of the northern hill.
  4. 1911The timber station opened on Corrie Street, heritage-listed today with its footbridge still standing.
  5. 1922The Hope land was subdivided and interwar homes filled out the hills.
  6. Post-warTimber and brick houses covered the flats and the station streets, much of it built as public housing.
  7. NowUnits and townhouses line Wynnum Road and the station, and many station-street houses have been lifted, built under or replaced.

What the money buys

$1.2m to $1.6m

A post-war three-bedder on the station streets or toward Bennetts Road, usually with the work still to do, or a renovated two-bedroom cottage. Our lowest published Norman Park purchase is $1,275,000.

$1.7m to $2.5m

A renovated three or four-bedroom Queenslander or post-war home on around 600 square metres on either hill. The suburb's house median sat at $1.77 million in the year to September 2026, and this is where most of the buying happens.

$2.5m and above

A five-bedroom renovation or new build on the Eulalia hill or Galloways Hill with the city view, or a big block on the avenues. Our published Norman Park purchases run to $2,780,000; the suburb's top sale in the year to September 2026 was $6.3 million.

What to check before you buy in Norman Park

Flood

Norman Creek runs the length of the western edge and two drains, Scott's Creek and Ben's Hole Creek, carry the middle of the suburb down to it. In January 2011 the river backed up the creek and covered about a fifth of Norman Park's area: the Wynnum Road flats west of Norman Avenue (Gillan, Pope and Donaldson Streets), the Scott's Creek low ground around Scott, Milton and Wordsworth Streets near the station, and the streets around Bottomley Park (Adina, Waite and Hope Streets). Norman Creek ran high again in February 2022, when record rain hit the creek catchment as well as the river. The two hills sit well above all of it. The parks are on the flats because the 1940s reclamation put them there, so a house beside a park is a house beside old creek ground. Pull the FloodWise Property Report for the exact lot, which records both the 2011 and 2022 levels where they were surveyed, ask for the floor levels, and get an insurance quote before the building and pest, not after.

Flood Awareness MapFloodWise Property Report

Noise

Three sources. Wynnum Road along the northern edge carries the through traffic to the Gabba. The Cleveland line runs through the middle of the suburb at ground level, and the freight line to the Port of Brisbane branches off just north of the station, so rail-side streets hear trains at night. Aircraft are the third for some streets since the parallel runway opened in July 2020: check the address on Brisbane Airport's runway operations page, then stand in the backyard at 7am and again at 9pm.

Overlays and approvals

Traditional building character and pre-1911 on the older stock on both hills, creek and overland flow overlays along Norman Creek and the Scott's Creek line, and five heritage places. 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

Three primary catchments, all capped, and Coorparoo Secondary College for almost every address. Norman Park State School's catchment covers about three fifths of the suburb, not all of it. Check the lot on EdMap, then ring the school.

Queensland EdMap

Red flags

  • A low block on the Wynnum Road flats, along Scott's Creek or beside Bottomley Park with no FloodWise report, no floor-height survey and no recent flood insurance quote. The parks are on the flats for a reason.
  • A house beside the rail corridor or fronting Wynnum Road with single-glazed bedrooms at the front and no acoustic report.
  • A Bennetts Road or Eulalia hill house bought on the assumption it is in Norman Park State School's catchment. The south-eastern third of the suburb is not.

Where the value sits

  • A post-war house on the station streets, outside the character overlay and above the 2011 line, that can be lifted, built under or replaced without the heritage hurdles.
  • The school streets on Galloways Hill, where the state school, the coffee and the walk to the Hawthorne CityCat are all on foot and the view comes free.
  • The Eulalia avenues, where the blocks are the biggest in the suburb and the streets the quietest, at a step below what the same house costs across the Hawthorne line.

Buying in Norman Park: the questions we get

Coorparoo Secondary College for secondary across almost the whole suburb, with a few Wynnum Road addresses at the northern tip in Balmoral State High. Primary splits three ways: Norman Park State School for the northern and central streets, about three fifths of the suburb, Seven Hills State School for the south-east including the Eulalia hill, and Coorparoo State School for the southern streets around Bottomley Park. Check the exact address on EdMap and ask us which side of the line a house sits on.

Parts of it. Norman Creek runs along the western edge and the low ground beside it, the Wynnum Road flats, the Scott's Creek streets near the station and the streets around Bottomley Park, carried river water in January 2011 and creek water again in February 2022. The two hills, around the state school and the Eulalia avenues, do not. Every Norman Park purchase we make starts with the FloodWise report and the floor levels.

About fifteen minutes to Central on the Cleveland line from a heritage-listed station in the middle of the suburb, with Coorparoo one stop in and Morningside one stop out. Route 227 along Wynnum Road is the bus alternative, and by car it is ten to fifteen minutes outside the peak.

Not any more. The cross-river ferry to New Farm Park was withdrawn in 2020 and the wharf closed. The nearest CityCat is Hawthorne at Hardcastle Park, a fifteen-minute walk up Hawthorne Road from the northern streets, about 22 minutes to Riverside.

In 2026, a renovated three or four-bedroom Queenslander or post-war home on around 600 square metres on either hill, or a bigger unrenovated house on the flats. The house median sat at $1.77 million in the year to September 2026, and our published purchases here run from $1,275,000 to $2,780,000.

Hawthorne has the ferry, the cinema and the village at the door, and prices to match. Norman Park has its own train station, its own state school, two hills with the same city view and a yard for a good deal less money, with Wynnum Road and the rail line to work around. Families who choose the street carefully get most of Hawthorne's life at Norman Park's price.
