4 Lolita Street, The Gap QLD 4061, Australia
The Gap is about 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) by road north‑west of the Brisbane GPO, so the property is roughly that distance from the CBD.
The main arterial road through The Gap is Waterworks Road, which runs east through St Johns Wood, Ashgrove and Red Hill before becoming Musgrave Road and continuing to Brisbane city.
Enoggera Reservoir is about 1.4‑2 km away, offering fishing, canoeing and walking trails, and Brisbane Forest Park (now part of D’Aguilar National Park) lies roughly 2‑3 km from the house, providing bushwalking and wildlife experiences.
The suburb has a good public bus service that connects residents to surrounding suburbs and the city, complementing the primary road network for travel by private vehicles.
The Gap Village shopping centre, a local police station on Waterworks Road, and a Queensland Fire & Rescue station nearby provide everyday services and emergency support for residents.
The Gap experienced a severe microburst during the 16 November 2008 Queensland storms, which caused extensive wind damage to homes and trees in the vicinity.
At the 2021 census, The Gap had a population of 17,318 people, reflecting modest growth from the 2016 count of 16,692.
