It took years and lots of pressure to be put in place. In my own little section of the estate, I've formed great friendships with the people in my street and we often have get togethers and bbqs(neighbour is a local butcher so it always helps). The downside of Caboolture is the super council which is run as the Moreton Bay Region. My Mum worked at the Dairy Co Op for 10 years in the 80's and 90's and I have fond memories of going there after school and getting the freshest dairy products available.

Caboolture Special School is a special primary and secondary (Prep-12) school for boys and girls at Torrens Road ( 27.0967S 152.9438E ). Carmody's pub was across the road where that god awful council building is now. when i returned to Australia and the local area it was so refreshing to see such positive advancement in many areas,New Roads,Bypasses to give quick access to various towns and cities,Housing popping up just everywhere ,i drove from Brisbane to the Sunshine coast and noticed all the way so many new homes being offered at very affordable prices. Still some good mature age souls about but honestly I wouldn't raise a family here if you paid me the overpriced rent each week. "It's a good town if you know where to avoid" ?? We went to their house and it was so loud that the guy (a Kiwi) would barely hear the bell. I have been living in this estate for over ten years. Also, Central Lakes Estate was not affeted by the floods in 2011. Give your kids a fighting chance and stay away. The first thing they pulled out was the stereo sound system and they played very noisy music for hours while unpacking for hours - what an introduction to the neighbourhood! About Caboolture.

My husband and I are retiring he wants to buy a house near the water I have been reading all the reviews about carboolture any help about the place would be much appreciated, Don't move to Caboolture is all I can say, Thinking of buying in caboolture in a new estate riverlands does anyone have any information about the estate or area is it safe ? Easy peasy!! Anyone smart enough knows to look up a town and search for reviews, talk to locals, etc before they move. Thinking of moving to Caboolture, QLD - any advice? I have had no major issues living here, I have studied at the local QUT/TAFE, I have been part of community organizations and groups, and I have found work in a community I have grown to love. To our left was a family with 4 or 5 dogs, doing illegal dog breeding (only one dog was allowed as per Council, but this never bothered us even though one dog was always yapping). Caboolture/Morayfield is a hole and whilst you may think land or rent is reasonable take it from someone that has been here for 30 years that it is a hole. The town is a residential are on the main route to the Sunshine Coast and being on a direct train link to Brisbane CBD makes Caboolture an attractive place to buy a home. There is also a large range of animals to see and Centenary Lakes is a nice spot to feed the local ducks (take chicken feed and lots will come right to your feet). Even in summer there isnt constant heat, its on and off. If you are a law abiding citizen, have a bit of common decency and respect you will see that you are not alone.

I greatly appreciate it, and I would love the help. They are oldies looking in - we were those kids now grown up and I'm thankful every day I'm still alive. Soon after we had moved in there, we noticed loud music coming from our back neighbours. Some of the outer Caboolture suburbs are nice but Caboolture itself is a dump.We are happy to have gotten out. It has taken a long time for house prices to rise . Afterwards their couch would say how surprised they were at how sporting and fair we played. Its pretty laid back, there are lots of friendly people. just dance switch accuracy; community centre requirements; how can i tell if someone is faking cancer; the summerhouse wedding. High street shops rather than shopping centres out here, much like uk which I dont like really need to be closer to the city! Caboolture is a cheaper area to live with the perks of the Sunshine Coast just up the road and a train line to take you to anywhere you want to go. Great schools and housing much more affordable than the city. I'm sure the Mayors and higher-end business people of the town would disagree with you (yes they exist).Morayfield Road is very much larger in population, and they need to cut the area down to cope with the commercial areas. So you still have the nasty neighbour risk factor but 10x the work! With the cheap/affordable rent comes the low socio economic families. Nothing like advertsing a 'small' area as 'affordable' (aka cheap/housing commission) high density living and not have the infrastructure to support it. oh, but then this justifies knocking down more trees and flattening more bushland, the homes of many native wildlife (I wonder if they understand that koalas are territorial) to widen roads.

There are a lot of families looking for rentals and the prices for houses are starting to rise with the moving economy. "There are some dodgy parts of town as there are in any town in any country." The dream of preserving our local heritage started with the formation of the Caboolture Historical Society in 1959. i think i can tell there are some easy going laid back people who enjoy the place, and others who are just a bit snobby & nothing better to do than to judge everyone else having fun. So, just because the properties here are more affordable, dont rush in and take your time. 2. We are looking at moving to Caboolture ourselves in about a year's time so any feedback from locals would be welcome. There is a train station at Caboolture whih is about 50 minutes to Brisbane city. Its a high crime area, as its the city and apparently drug users everywhere. A great library. Wow you wouldnt live anywhere else thats a bold statement. Please let me know..thx. It's so close to everything anybody should need, including beautiful beaches at Bribie Island and lots of choices for shopping. Transport to Brisbane is quick and easy, access to the Bruce Highway is close to many small suburbs. there have been some really nice and genuine people around that isnt looking to steal from you. Seems this area is going to be it for me when I'm ready to move! There were regular neighbourhood watch meetings but only a few of those concerned attended but most of those who should have attended didn't and of course the bad guys did not. I was ecstaticI like the fact it has good public transport, great shopping with morayfield mall, and caboolture mall if u need something in a hurry with IGA shops all over the place. However, I do still love the central location - not too far from city, beach or country. Built a house in Central Lakes the new estate within walking distance of all the basics. Nothing changed. It's just a shame people dont put as much effort into building a community they are proud of and filling the place with positivity as they do talking utter rubbish negatives online behind a computer screen, this shire has a phenominal rate of growth, excellent schools and a growing business portfolio, crime is actually dropping and returns for those with half a brain in realestate have been great. One day, a young chap from NSW moved in and he was an obvious Bruce Springsteen fan, as he cranked up the volume so much on the weekends, that we lost our appetite to finish our breakfast on our patio which was probably 20m away. It is affordable if you are looking to buy or rent. There are nowhere near enough police to patrol an area that covers Caboolture, Morayfield, Upper Caboolture, Bellmere, Burpengary, Narangba, the highway, Bribie Island, Elimbah, Toorbul, Donnybrook, Wamuran, Woodford, Kilcoy and Moore and everything in between. Spend Sunday morning at the Caboolture Markets. Gotta chime in here re: "FanOf4510" 's remarks "If you work, play and enjoy life in general you wont find too many things wrong.." --> This helps obviously only where all your neighbours in your streets and those surrounding yours put the exact same meaning to these words, which obviously is rarely the case. Don't believe me then go to Caboolture train station and wonder why coppers ride trains from Caboolture to Narangba. I think Woodford is classed as a little town and Caboolture a mini city with over 50 traffic lights and over 35000 people living just in Morayfield / Caboolture not to mention the outside community's who do their business there everyday this little town jams up and it's very time consuming driving around in slow traffic. I hope you all find the place you are looking for. .. There are some nice areas around, but he town itself seems to be going backward. The units to my right are falling apart and the only reason 3 of the 6 units still have tenants is due to the fact they are paying half the market rental. Roger Ramjet - 1. I live here in caboolture,moving here with friends in 2008, and i didnt research the place either. People were killed from bashings/ stabbings, others just hospitalized, even the cops get bashed up, guys bash girls too they don't care - heaps of people were pregnant at school, people did drugs at school, robberies occur daily, you will be abused for just looking at someone the wrong way. Prices have come down and everybody competes with everybody. I will never return there again yes it is a cheaper place to buy and rent but that is what attracts more problems. It's not about being snobby it's about being respectful to the people who you live around - seriously we were the noisy, drunk, fighting,kids. I don't know if it's luck or the people but our neighbours are great so we haven't had any problems. I had another lady offer to buy my food from Aldi when I forgot my card.

Most people including myself find the suburb quite laughable, theyll be a post with someone who has lost something a the shops, people say good luck getting that back around here, and I get what they are saying but as Ive said people do experience some good samaritans here me included. From what I read today, it has even gotten worse.Lastly, I found this sad blog very recently: Read this woman's story and check out her Youtube "videos" (audios really):http://nfhmyblog.blogspot.com/ (nfh stands for Neighbours From Hell).I wish you all the best and urge you to do your homework very thoroughly!Never buy a property unless you have rented in the neighbourhood first, I can't stress this enough.
