How Did the Area Grow?
These new developments were like extensions of older suburbs. These older suburbs, such as Keperra, Everton Park, and Ferny Grove, are located south of Kedron Brook Creek and are part of the City of Brisbane. Later, in the 1980s, urban development spread into the southern part of Bunya. Because of this, the term "Hills District" might also include parts of Bunya today.
