About Enoggera

Enoggera is an inner-north-western suburb of Brisbane, located approximately 9 kilometres from the CBD within the Brisbane City Council area. With a population of 5,849 and a notably young median age of 31, the suburb has a dynamic character partly shaped by its proximity to Gallipoli Barracks, one of Australia's largest Army installations. Household incomes are solid at a median of $2,158 per week, reflecting the mix of defence personnel, young professionals, and established families who call the area home.

The suburb benefits from good public transport links and easy access to Samford Road for commuting into the city. Enoggera State School and nearby amenities cater to residents' everyday needs, while the relatively young population gives the suburb a lively, community-oriented character. The elevated position at around 60 metres above sea level offers pleasant outlooks across the surrounding Brisbane foothills, adding to the suburb's quiet residential appeal.
