Meadowbrook, Queensland Meadowbrook is a suburb of Logan City in Queensland, Australia, known for mixed residential, commercial and light industrial areas adjacent to major transport corridors. The suburb lies near Brisbane River catchments and has connections to regional centres such as Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Beenleigh. Meadowbrook hosts health, education and research facilities that serve the wider Logan City region and neighbouring Redland City and Moreton Bay Region communities.
Meadowbrook sits within the metropolitan corridor between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, bordered by suburbs including Park Ridge, Waterford West, Browns Plains, and Loganlea. The suburb's topography is predominantly low-lying coastal plain influenced by the Albert River floodplain and the Brisbane River catchment, with transport routes such as the Pacific Motorway, M1 (Queensland), and the Logan Motorway forming important boundaries. Local green spaces link to the Logan River catchment and riparian corridors feeding into protected areas like Toohey Forest and the Daisy Hill Conservation Park network. Geologically, Meadowbrook lies on Quaternary alluvium overlying older sedimentary formations tied to the Great Dividing Range uplift.
Indigenous custodianship of the Meadowbrook area is associated with the Yugambeh language region and neighbouring groups including the Jagera and Turrbal peoples prior to European settlement. 19th-century exploration by parties linked to John Oxley and pastoral expansion led to land use changes associated with Moreton Bay colony development and the Separation of Queensland from New South Wales. Agricultural clearing, timber-getting and smallholdings during the Victorian era and the Federation of Australia era gave way to suburbanisation after the construction of rail and road links tied to projects such as the South Coast railway line and post-war infrastructure programs influenced by federal initiatives like the Commonwealth Reconstruction Training Scheme. Recent decades have seen growth driven by the expansion of Logan Hospital, regional universities, and light industry connected to state planning frameworks led by the Queensland Government.
Census figures for the suburb reflect diversity typical of the Logan City corridor, with communities originating from United Kingdom, New Zealand, Philippines, India, and China alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents linked to Yugambeh heritage.

Household structures range from young families commuting to Brisbane CBD to older residents connected to retirement communities and aged-care providers regulated under national frameworks like the Aged Care Act 1997.
