About Belmont

Belmont is an outer suburb of Brisbane, Australia. It is 12 km south-east of the CBD. Belmont is named after the original estate in 1876, the estate grew and became the Belmont Shire in 1901. The shire originally covered a larger area than the current suburb. While much of the suburb remains as undeveloped blocks of bush mixed with large rural properties, some areas have built-up residential estates. The public school for the area is Belmont State Primary School.

The other notable place in the suburb is the Belmont Rifle Range, home to shooting events for the 1982 Commonwealth Games, and site of the 2011 World Long Range Championships. To the south of the rifle range is Mount Petrie. Two of Brisbane's main roads, the Gateway Motorway above and Old Cleveland Road underneath, cross at a large intersection in Belmont. Belmont has become an affluent suburb with large estates sitting on acres of land. Homes can range from around 3,500 to 10,000 square feet (930 m2) and over.
