Mount Ommaney QLD 4074

Mount Ommaney is a south-western suburb of Brisbane located approximately 13 radial kilometres from the CBD, bordered by the Brisbane River on the west and the Centenary Motorway on the east.  As the name would suggest, the suburb is elevated with many homes located on the hillside, allowing them to capturing city, river or sweeping suburban views across the district.  Aside from its elevation, Mount Ommaney is also known for being a particularly leafy suburb.  The majority of homes in the area are on large 1000m2 on greater blocks, plus there is an area of dedicated bushland reserve that adjoins the Brisbane River.  The suburb also has an 18 hole golf-course, the McLeoud Country Golf Club.

Mount Ommaney Shopping Centre is a large shopping mall containing big-box stores, fashion boutiques, supermarkets, food courts and children’s play areas.  In addition to this, Home Co Jindalee and DFO Jindalee are also a short drive up the road.

According to recent census data, the most prominent household composition in Mount Ommaney is couples of 60+ years of age with no dependent children.  This is likely a reflection of the suburb not having regular schools, combined with prices being higher than other directly adjoining suburbs due to its views and large block sizes.  The majority of homes in the area are traditional detached houses, with a particularly high percentage of owner-occupiers.

The only school in the suburb is the Mount Ommaney Special School which caters to special needs children of both primary and secondary ages.  There is also a public library in the suburb, located in the Mount Ommaney Shopping Centre.
