Profile

Forest Lake is a 1000 hectare residential master planned community which was initially founded in 1990 by Delfin Lend Lease. The suburb, in Brisbane's south-west district, is approximately 22km from the Brisbane CBD and contains many excellent facilities.The highlight is the artificial lake that serves as the centrepiece of the community. The lake is good for water sports enthusiasts keen to go canoeing, rowing or sailing. The area also boasts numerous parks, playgrounds and hike and bike trails.

The housing options in the suburb are mostly brick-and-tile homes on blocks ranging in size from 253 square metres up to 900 square metres. The suburb has been particularly popular with families, due to the extensive range of learning facilities on offer in the community including child-care centres, private and state primary and secondary schools, as well as special education and adult learning.

The extension and upgrading of the Centenary Highway has made commuting to and from the Brisbane CBD much easier for residents. There are also public buses available to various destinations including the City. The Forest Lake Village Shopping Centre is open seven days and contains major supermarkets and retail outlets.
