Greenbank is a rural-residential suburb located in Logan City’s south west. The northern section of Greenbank falls within Logan City, with the remainder of the suburb governed by Beaudesert Shire, in Queensland, Australia. Most of the residential parts of Greenbank are on the Beaudesert side, while the Logan City side is predominantly taken up by an Australian Military Training Base, which is used mostly by reservists (commonly referred to as Chocos).
The Greenbank Military Training Base (GBTB) is a registered Australian Heritage Site.
The suburb is surrounded by farmland and includes the expansive, forested Greenbank Military Camp. Comprising only a few streets and set among the gumtrees, this suburb has a charming rural feel. Many homesteads have magnificent rural views, dams, swimming pools and large decks that make them perfect for entertaining friends. A strip of parkland runs right through the middle of the residential part of Greenbank, on either side of a small watercourse. A bike path, which extends along its length, connects up with neighbouring Boronia Heights. While facilities may be limited, the kids should never be bored as this is a great area for exploring, riding dirt bikes and ponies.
