Riverhills

Riverhills, a residential suburb, is 15 km south-west of central Brisbane. It is reached by the Centenary Highway (1964) but postdates the 'centenary suburbs' of Jindalee and Jamboree Heights. The name was proposed by the housing developer, Centenary Estates Pty Ltd in 1972.

Riverhills was developed in conjunction with Middle Park and Westlake, and shares the shoreline of the Pullen reach of the Brisbane River with the latter suburb. The Westlake – Riverhills Bushcare Group (c1992) is a voluntary body for preservation of riverfront bushland.
