More About Bowen Hills
Located approximately 3km north of the Brisbane CBD and named after Sir George Bowen, the first Governor of Queensland, Bowen Hills is a hybrid commercial and residential inner-city suburb featuring an eclectic blend of architectural styles and demographics.
Home to many Queensland Heritage Registry listed landmarks, the earliest recorded home in Bowen Hills was built in the 1850’s with the suburb soon becoming a highly sought-after location. Well known as the home of the RNA Exhibition (‘Ekka’) show grounds, formerly known as the Royal Queensland National Agricultural and Industrial Society established in the 1860’s, fuelled further growth and development in the area as supporting services such as the Bowen Hills Post Office, which opened in 1878, were established in the area.
The year 1882 saw the opening of the Brisbane to Sandgate railway, with a route stopping in neighbouring Petrie Terrace, Victoria Park and the RNA Exhibition Grounds which, as a more cost-effective option than that of the Brisbane Central railway saw increased demand for the suburb as residents now had convenient access to both the Brisbane CBD and Fortitude Valley.
Nearby settlement and the continued industrialisation of the area saw Bowen Hills further connected by the Albion tramline in 1897 and the Bowen Bridge Road tramline, which opened in 1914 and continued to drive interest in the suburb. Establishing itself as both Brisbane’s rail hub and a prime commercial area, Bowen Hills has, within the last decade, seen significant redevelopment and regeneration as a trendy, inner city residential area.
