About New Beith

New Beith is a semi-rural locality within Logan City, located approximately 40 kilometres south-west of Brisbane's CBD in South East Queensland's rapidly growing outer fringe. The suburb's population has grown from 4,081 in 2016 to 5,642 in 2021, driven by demand for larger acreage-style properties within commuting distance of Brisbane and the Gold Coast. With a median household income of $2,779 per week and an average household size of 3.5 people, New Beith skews toward larger families in a predominantly owner-occupied market.

Spread across nearly 36 square kilometres at an elevation of 82 metres, New Beith offers a quieter, semi-rural lifestyle with a mix of traditional acreage lots and newer residential estates. The community is largely made up of families with school-age children, and residents enjoy access to local schools, parks, and the retail amenities of nearby Jimboomba and Browns Plains. The area appeals to buyers seeking space and a relaxed lifestyle without straying too far from South East Queensland's major employment centres.

New Beith falls under postcode 4124 and is governed by Logan Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Jordan electorate.
