Facts about Brisbane Airport
Brisbane Airport is one of Brisbane’s newer suburbs, located about 14km east of the CBD in Brisbane. The area was formerly part of Eagle Farm, but due to the size and economic importance of the airport precinct it was formally designated as its own suburb. Today the precinct hosts more than 400 businesses and supports tens of thousands of jobs, making it one of Queensland’s largest employment hubs. There are currently no residential neighbourhoods within the suburb itself, as the area is primarily dedicated to aviation, logistics, retail and commercial services.
The site has a long history in Queensland aviation and Brisbane’s early development. In 1839 the land was used as part of a convict farming settlement and became known as Eagle Farm, named after the wedge-tailed eagles commonly seen in the area. In 1923 the site was selected for use as an aerodrome, though flights were halted in 1931 after the land was considered too swampy for reliable operations. During the 1940s the aerodrome was redeveloped and used as a United States military airbase during World War II. In 1946 the airport was officially reopened as Brisbane Airport, utilising much of the infrastructure constructed during the war.
Today the airport occupies roughly 2,700 hectares and is operated by Brisbane Airport Corporation. It is one of Australia’s busiest aviation hubs, handling more than 24 million passengers annually in recent years. The airport includes both domestic and international terminals, cargo facilities, business parks and retail precincts.
For those who work at or frequently travel through the airport, several nearby suburbs offer convenient residential options. These include Pinkenba, Nundah, Ascot and Hamilton. Based on realestate.com.au data (2025):
