Overview

Taringa is a mostly residential suburb just 6.8 km south‑west of Brisbane’s CBD, home to 8,732 people (2021 census). Its ridge‑side streets are dotted with heritage‑listed homes such as Edge Hills and Daheim, while a modest commercial strip on Moggill Road provides cafés, a hotel and the Japanese Language Supplementary School office. The area attracts many University of Queensland and Queensland University of Technology students because of its proximity to the campuses, and community facilities include the Taringa‑Milton‑Toowong Scout Den, a karate and yoga studio, and the Taringa Rovers Soccer Club.

Transport is convenient: Taringa railway station serves the Ipswich, Rosewood and Springfield lines, and several Transport for Brisbane bus routes link the suburb to the CBD, UQ bus station and surrounding suburbs. Main arterial roads Swann Road and Moggill Road give easy car access, while nearby parks such as Oakman Park and Jack Speare Park add green space for recreation.
