Suburb Profiles

Nundah

Nundah is a suburb that has recently undergone a major transformation, this transformation will continue for some years to come. The change is mainly due to the construction of the new Woolworths and retail centre on the corner of Sandgate and Buckland Roads. This first stage is one of four stages in the overall plan for the redevelopment of the land that is bordered by Sandgate Road, Buckland Road, Station Street and …….. The first change to Nundah occurred with the construction of the bypass, this facilitated Nundah becoming the village that it once was. Since then many new retailers have set up shop and the village is thriving with activity. Another feature of Nundah is the extensive construction of high rise apartments and townhouses. Many of the large residential blocks have been converted to multi dwelling projects. But at the same time council has designated areas that are demolition controlled, in essence this is protection of a number of the pre-war homes that are a feature of the area. Nundah offers plenty in the way of amenities. Two major shopping centres are close, rail and buses service the area. The gateway arterial provides easy access to either the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. The airport is in close proximity and Nundah and surrounding suburbs support the growing population at the airport in terms of accommodation and housing; it is envisaged the population of workers at the airport with quadruple over the next ten years. Situated 8kms from the CBD, Nundah is now considered an inner northside suburb. The rate of growth in Nundah has been strong over the past several years. Soon Nundah will be the thriving cosmopolitian hub to rival the likes of New Farm and Bulimba. More Information
