Overview

Sheldon sits 23 km south‑east of the Brisbane CBD and is defined by its rural residential character. The suburb is sparsely populated, with acreage homes dotted among extensive bushland that includes the Brisbane Koala Bushlands, Emu Street Bushland Reserve, Ford Road Conservation Area and Summit Street Reserve. Protected eucalyptus forests and a healthy koala population give residents easy access to natural trails while Tingalpa Creek forms the western boundary and supplies the Leslie Harrison Dam catchment.

Lifestyle in Sheldon revolves around outdoor recreation and a close‑knit community of 1,762 people (2021 census). The private Sheldon College (Prep‑12) provides comprehensive schooling on site, and local enterprises such as Karreman Quarries and ABeeC Hives add modest employment options. Easy access to Mount Cotton Road and nearby arterial routes connects the area to Capalaba, Cleveland and the wider Redlands region.
