Overview

Westlake is a south‑western suburb of Brisbane, home to 4,547 residents according to the 2021 Census. Developed from the Hooker Centenary Project that began in 1959, the area blends original riverside lots with the later Westlake Waters development, creating a mix of family homes, lakeside properties and natural‑lake settings. Long‑standing community groups such as Save Our Riverfront Bushland and the Westlake‑Riverhills Bushcare Group reflect a strong local focus on preserving the surrounding bushland and river frontage.

Although Westlake has no schools within its borders, primary learners can attend Middle Park State School or Jamboree Heights State School, while secondary students travel to Centenary State High School in nearby Jindalee. The suburb borders Riverhills, Middle Park and Mount Ommaney, placing residents close to amenities like the Mt Ommaney and McLeod Country Golf Clubs. This proximity to neighbouring suburbs and green spaces, together with easy access to main roads, supports a relaxed, outdoor‑oriented lifestyle while keeping the city’s conveniences within reach.
