About Glenvale
Glenvale is a rapidly growing residential suburb on the western edge of Toowoomba, located 7.5 kilometres from the CBD at an elevation of around 600 metres on the Great Dividing Range. The population has surged 28% since 2016 to over 8,100 residents as new estates have transformed former farmland. The suburb is home to the Toowoomba Showgrounds, which host Queensland's oldest agricultural show.
The lifestyle here suits young families seeking affordable, modern homes with space. Multiple schools including Glenvale State School and several private Christian schools serve the growing population. Shopping options have expanded with new retail developments, while the cool climate offers relief from coastal humidity. Glenvale attracts first-home buyers and families priced out of established Toowoomba suburbs who appreciate the genuine four-season climate and community-focused atmosphere.
Glenvale falls under postcode 4350 and is governed by Toowoomba Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Condamine electorate.
