About Mount Pleasant (Moreton Bay - Qld)
Mount Pleasant is a sparsely populated rural locality in the City of Moreton Bay, Queensland, located approximately 54 kilometres north-north-west of the Brisbane CBD in the foothills of the D'Aguilar Range. Covering around 37 square kilometres, the locality had a population of 390 at the 2021 Census, with a very low residential density of around 10 people per square kilometre. The name derives from Mount Pleasant, a 525-metre peak rising on the locality's north-eastern boundary as part of the D'Aguilar Range.
Mount Pleasant is characterised by hobby farms, acreage properties, and native bushland at the edge of the D'Aguilar National Park region, offering a peaceful rural lifestyle within the Moreton Bay council area. The nearby township of Dayboro, approximately 10 kilometres to the south-east, provides the closest shopping, cafes, and community facilities, and has grown in popularity as a tree-change destination for Brisbane families.
