About the Morayfield State Electorate

The Morayfield State Electorate is an electorate located in the growth corridor between Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.  It includes the suburbs of Caboolture South, Upper Caboolture, Rocksberg (parts), Moorina (parts), Morayfield, Burpengary (parts) and Narangba (parts).

The use of the word “Morayfield” dates back to the 1850s when George Raff, who was the first Member for Brisbane in the first Queensland Parliament in 1860, bought some of the land held by the failed Caboolture Cotton Company and called it “Moray Field”, although it was often written as “Morayfields”.

Now, the area has grown to the point where it is one of the fastest growing regions in South East Queensland.  This growth presents the community with many challenges but also with many opportunities.

The electorate has three train stations – Morayfield, Burpengary and Narangba – and is home to the depot of Kangaroo Bus Lines.  It has two State High Schools, a Catholic College and seven State Primary Schools as well as the State’s largest Special School.

Recent achievements in the electorate include a new Police Station at Burpengary, new buildings and facilities at every primary and secondary school, a new ambulance station at Narangba (with intensive care paramedics on staff), a new fire station at Burpengary and additional car parking facilities at Morayfield and Burpengary train stations.

Key industries in the Morayfield State Electorate are retail, services, hospitality and property industries.
