At a glance

Cashmere the rural retreat of the northern corridor ? acreage blocks, horse properties, and a feel that's closer to a country town than a Brisbane suburb. Twenty-five kilometres north of the CBD via the Bruce Highway, it's where people go when they want space ? real space ? without actually leaving the city limits. The South Pine River runs through it, the hills give it views, and the houses sit on blocks measured in acres rather than metres. Population growth is minimal because there's simply not much land left to develop in this kind of lifestyle precinct.

Crime is 40% lower than QLD average (break-ins vs QLD) and violent crime is 30% lower than QLD average. Population of 1,753 (2021), growing +5%.
