Out to improve who we are!

Hi, this blog and Facebook page is designed to help bring our 4207 community together and change the focus of the area. For a long time the 4207 postcode is seen as a low social economic area and it is now time to stand up and change this opinion.

A new and exciting change is coming to the heart of 4207 with the Beenleigh Town Square project. There is a lot of buzz about this and how it will change the feel of the area. Adding in markets and a place to gather and encourage community interaction has to be seen as a step forward.

The redesign of the Beenleigh town center roundabout plus the proposed changes to the business center over time, Beenleigh will start to be seen as a central location for Brisbane and Gold Coast. It is why I love living in Beenleigh and being involved in a great community.

So if you have a great story or want to just say hi and why you love the 4207 share it with us to help change the perception of our postcode.
