Moorooka
Moorooka has traditionally hosted a working class population stemming from its history as a manufacturing hub during World War 2. The southern part of Moorooka bordering Salisbury was the location of government built returned servicemen housing. Recently Moorooka has seen immigrants from various places of the world, including people from the ex-Yugoslavia (Serbians and Bosnians), Middle East (Iraq, Iran & Kurds) and recently people from Africa (Sudan & Eritrea), which has brought an influx of new families into the area. Many of these immigrants live in the low-cost housing and units.
The principal Moorooka shopping district on Beaudesert Road, known as Moorvale, features over 100 businesses from take-aways to restaurants and coffee shops, discount stores, newsagents, dry cleaners, locksmiths, second hand and pawn shops, and a new range of businesses that serve the African community including food and groceries, hair salons, furniture shops, and halal butcheries.
Many of the houses are pre-war Queenslanders (on posts, with simple one floor, wooden construction), with small apartment blocks scattered through the suburb. As with many older suburbs of Brisbane, Moorooka is becoming gentrified, with many older homes now being either renovated and extended or replaced by more modern buildings.
