Overview

Stafford is a northern Brisbane suburb that recorded 6,978 residents in the 2021 Census. The area is chiefly residential, featuring original Queenslander‑style houses alongside a large stock of post‑war Queensland Housing Commission homes on quarter‑acre blocks constructed in the 1940s‑1950s. Historically served by electric trams (1940‑1968), the suburb now sits west of Lutwyche Road on the banks of Kedron Brook, providing easy road access while retaining a leafy, low‑rise streetscape. An ageing community is gradually mixing with younger families, creating a balanced neighbourhood vibe.

Daily life centres on the Stafford City Shopping Centre, home to a 24‑hour McDonald’s, the family‑friendly Gibson bistro, and the Hoyts cinema just 200 m away. Numerous parks, such as Gibson, Hickey and Keith Payne, offer green space, while sporting clubs at Hickey and Gibson Parks keep locals active. Primary education is served by Stafford State School (heritage‑listed) and Queen of Apostles Catholic Primary, with secondary options a short drive to Everton Park or Kedron State High Schools.
