Yoorala Street in The Gap tells a compelling story of Brisbane’s post-war suburban development and community stability. Looking back to 1946, the street wasn’t yet established, with only Waterworks Road and School Road carved into the landscape, while Penley Street began marking the area’s transformation.
Today, this well-established street boasts remarkable owner-occupier statistics, with 90% of its 62 properties being owner-occupied and residents staying an average of 13 years – a testament to the street’s enduring appeal. The neighbourhood’s strong sense of community is further evidenced by the fact that over half its residents have called Yoorala Street home for more than a decade, while historical sales data, such as 97 Yoorala Street trading for $34,500 in October 1980, highlights the area’s significant growth over the decades.
