Sunnybank is now a suburb in Brisbane,
Queensland, Australia much reduced in size
from the previous suburb of Sunnybank. The
separate town of Sunnybank was absorbed into
the City of Brisbane. This older Sunnybank area
is still known locally as Sunnybank. Rolling
hills and the headwaters for both Stable Swamp
Creek and Bulimba Creek have drawn people
and wildlife to the Sunnybank area. At the
2011 Australian Census the suburb recorded a
population of 8,091.Sunnybank is a busy area,
and there have been ever-growing traffic
problems in the area. Mains Road can become
gridlocked around peak-hour, packed with cars
and buses, as commuters make the slow ride
home, although construction has widened and
improved the Mains Road bridge which crosses
the train line at Altandi. Sunnybank plaza has
a large bus station, which serves as one of the
major stops on most bus routes in the area.
Banoon railway station, Sunnybank railway
station and Altandi railway station provides
access to regular Citytrain services to Brisbane
and Beenleigh.
