About Westbrook
Westbrook is a rural town and locality in the Toowoomba Region of Queensland, situated about 10 kilometres south of the Toowoomba CBD on the Darling Downs. With a population of approximately 4,400 (2021 Census), it has experienced steady growth as families seek affordable acreage and semi-rural living within easy reach of Toowoomba's services. The suburb sits at an elevation of around 510 metres on the fertile black-soil plains, with the Gore Highway passing through the centre of town.
Westbrook offers a relaxed country lifestyle with larger blocks and a strong sense of community. The area has a primary school, local shops, and sporting facilities, while Toowoomba's major shopping centres and hospitals are just a 10-minute drive away. It attracts families and tree-changers who want space for kids and pets without being far from urban conveniences. The surrounding farmland and open skies give Westbrook a distinctly rural character that sets it apart from Toowoomba's more urban suburbs.
