Description
Algester is an outer suburb of City of Brisbane,
Queensland, Australia. It is 18 kilometres (11 mi)
south-west of the central business district. The
suburb's population was estimated in the 2011
census at 8,262. The suburbs of Algester,
Calamvale and now Parkinson, sit on the southern
border or boundary of the City of Brisbane local
government area with suburbs of Logan City such
as Browns Plains and Regents Park.
The suburb's name of Algester is a corruption of
the name of the English town of "Alcester". Briefly in
the mid to late 1970s the suburb was colloquially
named Ridgewood Heights after the Ridgewood
Heights property development that then made up
most of its land area, but had officially been known
as Algester from 1972.
