Northgate

Postcode: 4013 | Distance to CBD: 9 km

Welcome to Northgate

This older northern suburb is still reminiscent of an old-fashioned area, from days long gone. There are many generous blocks, some tree-lined streets, small corner stores and sprawling old Queenslanders that typify Northgate.

It's within walking distance to services and shops, including a primary school and the always-improving shopping and dining scene of Nundah Village. Residents are well connected by rail, with two lines meeting at Northgate station.

Brisbane Grammar School maintains its playing fields for cricket between the suburb and the Gateway Motorway.

The northern edge of the suburb is industrial and includes the iconic Golden Circle Factory (which is well worth a visit for the factory outlet store, café and guided tours).

The creek running through Northgate is Cannery Creek, which only got this official name in 2000. In the past, the creek was a dumping ground for industrial waste and had been known as Cannery Drain.
