Commentary The Brisbane suburb of Coopers Plains is 12 km south of the CBD and borders on to Sunnybank.

Coopers Plains has experienced sustained growth and given the upgrading of the Southeast Freeway and the busway to the city, the area is assured continued growth and popularity into the future.

There is also a railway station in Coopers Plains heading north to the city and south to Beenleigh and the Gold Coast. A large proportion of the suburb is commercial and light industrial, but it is likely further residential development will occur in the coming years.

Most of the housing in the suburb is 25 to 30 years old brick style high and low sets. Built in the 70s, these homes are now frequently being renovated using the popular rendering method. There are also a number of more modern homes in this suburb.

The area is developing infrastructure as the community base increases. Most of the educational, retail and commercial facilities are located in neighbouring suburbs, especially Sunnybank; however the popular Garden City Shoppingtown is located in nearby Macgregor and attracts shoppers from far and wide.

Local educational facilities include the Coopers Plains Primary School and the suburb is next door to Griffith University Nathan Campus and the QEII Hospital.

In this area factors such as the improvement of infrastructure and low interest rates suggest capital growth of around 10% in the coming years.
The first homeowners grant for new homes has also bolstered land sales in the area.

Recreational facilities in the suburb include the large connecting Brittain Park, Maughan Park and Beryl Roberts Park. A cycle way runs through this area.

According to the 2006 Census there were 4,094 people living in the suburb with a median age of 34. The median individual income was $423 per week. Of all occupied private dwellings 56.6% were either fully owned or being purchased; 33.8% were being rented.
