Chapel Hill Zone Profile

The Chapel Hill Zone is an estab­lished res­id­en­tial area where there is a lar­ger pro­por­tion of people in the younger age groups (0 to 17) but a smal­ler pro­por­tion of people in the 60+ age groups. The coun­try of birth of the pop­u­la­tion in this Zone com­pared to Bris­bane LGA shows that there is a large pro­por­tion (29.1%) of people born over­seas and 13.3% were from a non-English speak­ing back­ground. Over 57% of house­holds in this area are com­prised of couples with chil­dren, 30% are couples without chil­dren and 11% are single par­ent families.

This Zone has retained its con­nec­tions with the bush and rural Queens­land. With plenty of trees and bush­land, Chapel Hill is a delight for fam­il­ies and hasn’t seen the urban sprawl that’s affected many other suburbs.

Com­munity ser­vices which cater for the grow­ing fam­ily, chil­dren and youth would be in high demand. KBC Growth Groups which are fam­ily friendly or cater for the prac­tical needs of the over 60’s age group in this Zone, would provide a highly valu­able resource to this com­munity. Part­ner­ships with aged care sup­port ser­vices in the Zone would provide great min­istry oppor­tun­it­ies for KBC Growth Groups.
