When it comes to raising babies, no Queensland suburb is doing it quite like Redbank Plains.
In the past year, the area has seen 542 births, according to KPMG’s analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistics data.
This makes Redbank Plains the top nappy valley across the state, beating Boronia Heights and Park Ridge by 78.
Nicola Reid is a resident of Redbank Plains, raising her newborn in the suburb – and she was shocked to see how many people were doing the same.
“I think we were expecting older kids, not quite the same age as ours,” she said. “Just within the surrounding houses, it’s three out of four that have young kids at a really similar age to ours.”
