Woolloongabba suburb profile

Woolloongabba, commonly known as the Gabba, is an inner-city suburb just south of Brisbane's CBD centred on the Brisbane Cricket Ground. It combines established residential streets of timber Queenslander cottages with warehouse conversions and newer apartment developments, so you see long-term locals living alongside younger professionals and families. The suburb has a strong retail and dining presence along Logan Road and Stanley Street, with cafes, pubs and specialty furniture and antique stores, and matchday activity around the stadium brings a lively atmosphere. Good bus links and major road access make the city easy to reach while pockets of green space break up the urban streetscape.
