The Best of Wishart

About Wishart

Another Great Western Brisbane

The Brisbane residential suburb of Wishart is located approximately fourteen kilometres south east of the Brisbane Central Business District. It is surrounded by the neighbouring suburbs of Mount Gravatt East, Mansfield, Mackenzie, Upper Mount Gravatt, Rochedale, and Eight Mile Plains.

The suburb’s southern boundary runs along Bulimba Creek while its western and eastern boundary runs along Newnham Road and the Gateway Motorway respectively. As well as this, Mount Gravatt Capalaba Road runs through the middle of the suburb. Other main roads within the suburb include Broadwater Road, Ham Road, Delavan Street and Greenwood Street.

Wishart was originally named after an early European settler in August of 1967 by the Queensland Place Names Board. Before that, the area was known as Mount Gravatt South, particularly during the 1960s. The Mount Gravatt South primary school was established in 1964 and was renamed to what it is now known as, Wishart State Primary School once the suburb was officially named.

Newnham Road was originally used as a stock route, allowing for travel from farming areas located south of Brisbane to the Cannon Hill saleyards. There was also some land on the side of Newnham Road which was developed into small farming blocks. This did turn Newnham Road into a normal road, but it was still used to transport stock until the late 1960’s. A few areas of the suburb’s real estate were developed by the Queensland Housing Commission. As the suburb continued to develop, more than five churches were developed within its bounds. One of these churches was St Catherine’s which opened in 1973. St Catherine’s was not only a church but also doubled as a Presentation Convent as well as a primary school. However, in 1983, it had a new and larger church built. Perhaps the suburbs most significant development was the opening of the Gateway Motorway, situated on Wishart’s western boundary.
