Sunnybank Hills
Sunnybank Hills, a residential suburb immediately south of Beenleigh Road, Sunnybank, is 15 km south of central Brisbane.
It was part of the Sunnybank fruit growing and plant nursery area and was named in 1971. By the mid-1970s much of the rural character was being rolled back as new housing was built. Pinelands Plaza shopping centre on Beenleigh Road was opened in 1976, and ten years later Sunnybank Hills Shoppingtown at the far south of the suburb was opened. It has a Pick 'n Pay store and 75 other shops.
