I lived in Bellbowrie for 4 years from 2006-10, and during that time had children. We moved closer to the CBD due to lack of infrastructure. i.e. no train means a trip to/from the city via bus regularly takes 1.5 hours, and often having to stand. For us 3 hours commuting a day did not suit work/life balance. There is no library, (apart from a bus once per wk, not kid friendly), poor shopping availability at Coles, over-crowded school, and impossible to get a doctor's appointment on the day due to there being so many people in the area.
Alot of people have poor internet service, and there are some pockets where Optus does not work, so you have no mobile access.
Bellbowrie/Moggill were originally sleepy and leafy suburbs, but have undergone a major change due to huge developments, whereby the blocks have become tiny, (no room to grow trees), the number of people and cars have quadrupled, and the traffic is unbearable to/from the suburb.
If you don't mind long commutes in your car to get to anything be it doctors, shops, schools etc., or work around hours outside peak traffic you would be happy here. Alternatively if you're a home body who prefers to stay put, this could be perfect for you.
