Domestic cleaners on Brisbane's southside: three councils
South of the river
The grouping is informal: southern suburbs are the ones south of the Brisbane River. Wikipedia's list files Sunnybank, Mount Gravatt and Forest Lake as southern, and Coorparoo, Carindale and Wynnum as eastern, so some locals will call those the east.
Three councils
Past the City of Brisbane, the City of Logan takes over to the south and Redland City to the east. Brisbane's kerbside collection stops at the council line, so anyone in Logan or the Redlands should check their own council's rules for big items.
Stadium streets
On event days you can only park for 15 minutes in the Gabba Traffic Area, which covers streets in Woolloongabba, East Brisbane and Kangaroo Point, unless you hold a permit for the area. Tennyson and Yeerongpilly have their own event-day area around the Queensland Tennis Centre.
Permit pockets
Council's data shows regulated parking permit areas in spots like Sunnybank, Holland Park West and Buranda. Council's advice is to always check the street signs, and that goes for a cleaner's van too.
Getting around
The South East Busway runs from the CBD to Springwood, and trains run out along the Cleveland line through Coorparoo. Cleaners with gear drive, so a clear driveway or a nearby park helps.

Pick your southside suburb: cleaners from Coorparoo to Logan
Coorparoo mixes new towers, older unit blocks and inter-war houses. Forest Lake is a planned estate from the 1990s, on the Brisbane side of the council line.
Further out, Sunnybank, Mount Gravatt, Carindale and Wynnum each have a page, as do Logan, Browns Plains, Beenleigh, Capalaba and the Redlands.
Not on that list? The form works on your postcode, so any southside address can send a job.
House cleaning on Brisbane's southside, unit or house
In the ABS's Brisbane South area, 15% of homes are flats, so a regular clean for a unit is a common ask close in. In Logan and the Redlands, separate houses are the norm and a house clean is the usual ask. Either way, a one-off deep clean catches up the skirting boards, tracks and grout.
Leaving a rental on any side of the council lines? That's a bond clean. The RTA's rules are the same in Coorparoo, Logan and Capalaba, and you can do the clean yourself if you'd rather.
Before you book southside cleaners: the Gabba and the bins
Close to the Gabba, check the fixture before you choose a day. Further out in Logan or the Redlands, check how your council takes big items before you set a moving date. Each one takes a few minutes and saves a cleaner circling the block or a couch stranded in an empty house.
