About Willawong

Willawong is an outer southern suburb of Brisbane, located approximately 17 kilometres south of the Brisbane CBD in the City of Brisbane local government area. With a small residential population of around 145 people, it is primarily known as an industrial and commercial precinct, featuring business parks, warehousing, logistics facilities, and light manufacturing operations. The suburb is bounded by two creeks and sits in close proximity to major arterial routes including the Ipswich Motorway, making it a strategically important freight and logistics hub for Greater Brisbane.

Life in Willawong is dominated by its industrial character — it is not a traditional residential suburb with shops, cafes, or community amenities, and most workers commute in from surrounding areas such as Sunnybank Hills, Algester, and Pallara. The suburb's convenient location near the Logan Motorway interchange provides excellent road connectivity to the Port of Brisbane and Brisbane Airport. For those few residents who call it home, the nearby suburbs of Sunnybank and Rochedale South offer shopping centres, parks, and community services.

Willawong falls under postcode 4110 and is governed by the Brisbane Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Oxley, while state elections fall under the Toohey electorate.
