Burbank, Queensland

Download coordinates as: Burbank is a greenbelt suburb in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

[citation needed] The almost entirely residential outer suburb is dominated by large acreage blocks, many with extensive gardens and prestige housing built on them.

[6] The suburb was named after Alfred Harry Burbank, a surveyor and farmer, who was a resident in the area from 1890 to 1908.

[8] Since the inception of the Bushland Preservation Levy in 1990,[9] the Brisbane City Council has purchased undeveloped properties in Burbank for nature reserves.

It is estimated that 3,000 to 5,000 koalas live in the southeast of Brisbane and this park is designed to protect their habitats and their movement corridors.

[11] The agreement is part of the BCC's GreenHeart CitySmart plan which aims to restore 40% of the city's land to natural habitat by 2026.

[citation needed] Burbank has not been subdivided into small residential blocks of land to ensure the population remains low.

[12] In 2008, census data revealed that Burbank has the most three-car households in Brisbane, at a rate of 40%.
