Anstead is an outer suburb of Brisbane, Australia located 16 kilometres (10 mi) south-west of the Brisbane CBD. Anstead is located on the northern bank of the Brisbane River.
Anstead is named after the original land owner John Anstead, a timber getter and quarry master in the 1860s.[1] Anstead was officially gazetted in 1975, prior to which it was part of the suburb of Moggill.

An alternative location for a bridge to replace Moggill Ferry is proposed within the Moggill Pocket Arterial Road Transport Corridor. Land has been set aside by the Queensland government as a future transport corridor passing through the suburbs of Kenmore, Pullenvale, Anstead and Karalee to connect the Centenary Highway at Fig Tree Pocket, Queensland with the Warrego Highway at North Tivoli. The corridor was identified in the 1960s and planned and preserved in the late 1970s.[2] It has not been determined whether or not local traffic on and off-ramp access to the arterial road will be provided. Community feelings over the transport corridor are similar to those expressed over the Moggill Ferry/Bridge debate. As of 2010, there is no date or funding provided to commence the construction of the Moggill Pocket Arterial Road Transport Corridor.
