Profile

Fig Tree Pocket is 9km west-southwest of the Brisbane CBD and benefits greatly from the Centenary Highway, giving it direct access to the City via Milton Road or Coronation Drive.

With easy access to Mt Coot-tha lookout, botanical gardens, and the planetarium, and the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Fig Tree Pocket is surrounded by attractive recreational facilities. The suburb is also partially located on the Brisbane River.

Fig Tree Pocket is likely to experience good growth throughout the next decade as demand for near-city living expands into the suburbs. The suburb should continue to attract strong interest from those who enjoy access to a variety of facilities but still enjoy leafy urban environments.

Fig Tree Pocket is next to the suburbs of Indooroopilly and Kenmore Hills. Its main retail facilities are located at Indooroopilly and Kenmore with the large Indooroopilly Shoppingtown close by.

There are good educational facilities in the suburb including the Montessori School, Fig Tree Pocket Primary School and The Glenleighdon School – it is also close to the Nudgee Junior College in Indooroopilly and Indooroopilly high schools.

According to the 2006 Census there were 3,259 people living in the suburb with a median age of 38. The median individual income was $764 per week. Of all occupied private dwellings 85.2% were either fully owned or being purchased; 10.2% were being rented.
