About Carseldine

Carseldine is a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, located about 16 kilometres (10 mi) north and about a half-hour drive from the Central Business District of Brisbane. It is surrounded by Bald Hills and Bracken Ridge to the north, Aspley to the south, Fitzgibbon to the east and Bridgeman Downs to the west. Carseldine is a mainly residential suburb in the north of Brisbane.

At its northern boundary is the incorrectly named Carseldine Homemaker Centre, which is in fact, in the adjacent suburb of Bald Hills. This Homemaker Centre includes one of north Brisbane's three Bunnings Warehouse stores, which became a part of the Carseldine Homemaker Centre in 2002 (Bunnings previously traded individually there for about 4 years). There is also a community-based shopping centre anchored by a Woolworths supermarket on Beams Road and two convenience centres, one beside the railway station and the other on the western side of the suburb.

Carseldine also includes two plant nurseries (one small and one large, both located along Beams Road), Club Coops and the Aspley Hornets AFL Club. Carseldine Police Station, an $8.4 million facility, located on the corner of Gympie Road and Denver Road commenced operations on 29 September 2009. Carseldine was named after the fencing contractor William Carseldine who settled in Bald Hills in 1858. He also owned land in what is now Carseldine.
