What Binna Burra is known for: National parks, Heritage area, Green suburb

Suburb profile

Binna Burra is a welcoming smaller community in Scenic Rim Council, with a settled community character. Distance from the metro area around Brisbane is part of the appeal, with regional hubs closer to hand than the city. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with a community of people who commute and work locally.

Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here than in denser, more walkable pockets. Property prices are middling for the area: fair relative to what is nearby.

Crime reports are up on the previous period.
