Doolandella Suburb Guide

Doolandella was declared as an official suburb in 1976.The name Doolandella, or Dulandella as expressed by Aboriginal Australians, is a Yuggera Yugarabul word referring to the Geebung tree, a broad leaved shrub with yellow fruit which grows in the area.

Located just 15 kilometres South of Brisbane, Doolandella is a suburb that is relatively close to the Brisbane CBD with a low-price tag. There are very few suburbs left where you can buy a property on a good-sized block of land this close to the city for under $500K. Access to Brisbane is relatively simple with access to Ipswich Road, which then leads directly into the city. The suburb is positioned well to access all parts of Brisbane and the South East Queensland Region with access to the Logan Motorway taking you to the Airport, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast with relative ease and speed.

Doolandella will be in high demand in the next 5 years. It’s a suburb where you can still purchase a very big home relatively close to the city for under $500,000 and receive strong returns. It’s not about how it looks now, it’s all about how it will look in the future and this is one of the few suburbs that is affordable with good sized blocks of land. This is a suburb that is going to increase in value over the next 5 years as land gets harder to source this close to Brisbane. New developments affecting this suburb are in Pallara and Richlands where block sizes are getting down to 300 m2.
