About Bellbowrie

Bellbowrie is a satellite suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, located about 17 kilometres West of the CBD on Moggill Road, past Indooroopilly, Kenmore and Pinjarra Hills/Brookfield. It's a tranquil, leafy riverside community of about 10,000 people, surrounded mostly by rural acreage - although that's beginning to change.

Bellbowrie was established as a new, affordable residential family-oriented community in the 1970s. Stand-alone housing on quarter-acre (1000 Sq.M) blocks is the norm. According to Our Brisbane, over 60% of households in Bellbowrie are couples with children, while 33% are couples without children and 8% are single parent families.

Bellbowrie has its own shopping centre with a Coles supermarket, newsagency, computer store, fruit and vegetable store, hairdresser, chemist, gift shop and takeaway outlets including Pizza Hut. It also has a licensed sports club with a bistro and there are plans for a tavern. There are local sporting facilities including a football oval and swimming pool. There is a primary school at nearby Moggill and regular buses to Kenmore State High School.

Recently, Brisbane City Council upgraded Bellbowrie's bus service to a "Buz 444", which means buses to the city via Indooroopilly every 10 minutes at peak hour and every 20 minutes at other times. There's also a "Buz 443" service express from Chapel Hill to the city at peak hour.
