Carindale has mostly been part of Belmont and its prehistory and history are inextricably linked to that area. The name Carindale comes from the estate development that began in 1976. In 1980, the Carindale Community Progress Association asked the Queensland Place Names Board to identify the new development as a separate suburb. The name was judged to be an accomplished fact and the Board removed sections of Carina, Carina Heights, and Belmont to form the new suburb. The name is derived from the adjoining suburb of Carina.

In the 1850s, timber getters were attracted to the Carindale area. In the 1860s and 1870s, when much of the timber had been cleared, cane was grown along the creek areas and in the rich soil from the old forest. Originally, the Walrus, a floating sugar mill, was used to crush cane, but later, mills were built along the creek. With the decline of sugar growing in southern Queensland, the farmers around Belmont grew bananas, pineapples and other small crops, including grapes, tomatoes and potatoes. The Meadowlands area was dotted with dairies and small farms growing fodder. Wool scours and a fellmongery were built along Bulimba Creek and Baynes Brothers bought holding paddocks for the cattle and sheep that were destined for the abattoir.

The mail coach ran along Old Cleveland Road to Cleveland. Unfortunately, the railway line was built along the coastal route, so the mail and other traffic began to run by rail and the area lost all access to transport, except for a wagonette to Camp Hill, and the area sank into rural doldrums. From 1912 to 1924 the Belmont Flyer connected this area with the railway. However, it never had enough passengers and when Baynes Brothers wool scour, which had its own siding in Carindale, began to transport by road it meant that the line was doomed. By 1929, the only transport was a motorbus to Camp Hill tram terminus. Even when the tramline was extended, the Belmont terminus was in Carina.

The twelve-stage development of the Carindale Estate began in 1976, initially on the northern side of Old Cleveland Road. In 1979, Myer announced plans to build an enormous new shopping centre. Carindale Shopping Centre made major changes to the shopping habits of neighbouring suburbs. In twenty-five years Carindale has grown from nothing to a population of ten thousand people.

Profile

Approximately 10km from the Brisbane CBD to the east, Carindale is a newer suburb of Brisbane that was settled in the early 1980s.

Surrounded by the neighbouring suburbs of Camp Hill, Carina, Carina Heights, Belmont and Tingalpa, Carindale is a thriving Brisbane suburb that has seen very good growth over the last five years.

The housing styles in the suburb are a reflection of its age with most houses built in the 1980s of the low set and high set brick and tile variety. Lately residents have been modernising their homes by rendering, which has been an effective way of bringing the homes up-to-date.

Community infrastructure in this area is very good with a major hospital only minutes away. There are primary schools and high schools located in and around neighbouring suburbs.

Griffith University is nearby as is the Mt Gravatt TAFE (Moreton Institute of TAFE).

Shopping facilities include close access to the large and successful Carindale shopping centre, smaller shopping centres in Carina, Belmont and Mt Gravatt East.

Carindale and neighbouring suburbs have many walk and bikeways, parks, waterways, and include Carina's Clem Jones sports facility complex, housing many sports fields for the local community.

The suburb has access to very good bus transport and its nearest railway station is in nearby Tingalpa - 15 minutes drive away.

There is some vacant land left for either residential or commercial/retail development.

According to the 2006 Census there were 15,135 people living in the suburb with a median age of 38. The median individual income was $587 per week. Of all occupied private dwellings 81.9% were either fully owned or being purchased; 13.1% were being rented.
