Brightview Plainland

Plainland (L) and Brightview (L) are neighbouring areas in the Lockyer Valley, but they offer very different lifestyles. Plainland (L) is more established for daily needs, with 48.1% of homes within a 15-minute walk of schools and groceries, and a walkability score that is mostly car-dependent. In contrast, Brightview (L) is car-dependent, with no residents within a 15-minute walk of any amenities. Plainland (L) also sees more movement, with 51.4% of people moving in the last five years, and has a far higher share of renters at 17.8% compared to just 3.8% in Brightview (L).

Both areas are very similar in their family makeup, with children under 15 making up about 21% of the population in each. This is close to the national figure.
