About This Area
B.H.B Serves
North Lakes
North Lakes sits 30 km north of Brisbane's CBD on the Bruce Highway corridor — a master-planned community of over 80,000 residents across North Lakes, Mango Hill, Narangba, Burpengary, and Dakabin. Anchored by Westfield North Lakes (Queensland's largest outdoor shopping centre), the area also hosts IKEA, Costco, a growing business park, and some of SEQ's most modern schools. The Petrie train station connects via Mango Hill East Station, while the Bruce Highway gives charter vehicles fast access north to the Sunshine Coast and south to Brisbane Airport.
B.H.B routes from the Rocklea depot to North Lakes run via the Gateway Motorway to the Bruce Highway — typically 30–35 minutes off-peak. From North Lakes to Brisbane Airport via the Gateway takes under 20 minutes, making this one of the best-positioned suburbs in SEQ for group airport transfers. The North Lakes to Sunshine Coast run (Maroochydore) takes approximately 50 minutes — a popular staff retreat and conference circuit B.H.B runs regularly.
