Narangba is a suburb north of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the Moreton Bay Regional Council.


Narangba in its Aboriginal origin meant small ridge, and that describes the area where the railway station with its associated township was situated. Earlier, it was part of an area referred to as Stoney Creek. The railway station was first called Sideling Creek Station, later renamed as Narangba.[1]

An award-winning Development Control Plan[2] has resulted in major residential interest regarding the areas of Narangba and Burpengary, with infrastructure matching population growth. An industrial estate providing services required by manufacturing and general industries has taken full advantage of the shire's transport corridors, with sites on either side of the Bruce Highway.

[edit] Transport

Narangba railway station provides regular Citytrain services to Brisbane and Ipswich, as well as Caboolture and the Sunshine Coast.

Regular bus services connect all local surburbs and only four minutes from the Bruce Highway, allows a half hour car trip to either the Sunshine Coast or Brisbane City.
