Mount Ommaney is an outer suburb of Brisbane, Australia 14 kilometres (9 mi) south-west of the CBD on the Centenary Highway.

History

The suburb takes its name from the mountain, which in turn takes its name from John Mansell Ommaney, the nephew of Stephen Simpson, Commissioner for Crown Lands in the Moreton Bay District. Simpson had designated his nephew, John Ommaney as his heir. On 11 March 1856 the young man, aged 20, was riding from Wolston House and was thrown from his horse. The horse returned to Wolston House and a search was undertaken. Ommaney was found on the ground insensible and, despite medical attention, died. His body was taken by steamer to be buried in the Church of England cemetery at Paddington.[3][4][5]

Mount Ommaney was developed as part of the Hooker Centenary Project in 1959.[6] It and the surrounding suburbs such as Jindalee are known as the Centenary Suburbs.

The western part of the original land holdings that became the Centenary Suburbs were part of the Wolston Estate, consisting of 54 farms on an area of 3000 acres, offered for auction at Centennial Hall, Brisbane, on 16 October 1901. [7]Wolston Estate is the property of M. B. Goggs, whose father obtained the land forty years previously in the 1860s and after whom Goggs Road is named. [8]Only three of the farms sold at the original auction.[9]

Mount Ommaney Library opened in 1997 with a major refurbishment in 2015.[10]

Geography

Mount Ommaney is located on the southern side of the Brisbane River (across from Pinjarra Hills) and the majority of the properties are located on the hill itself. A relatively large section of Mount Ommaney is forest that is protected by the Brisbane City Council and will not be developed, this includes the area next to the river that was once a stone quarry. Many of the lots in Mount Ommaney are around or in excess of 1000 square metres. The Mount Ommaney Shopping Centre is located on the outskirts of the suburb and is opposite to the Mount Ommaney Hotel. Homes on the top of the hill generally have great views either to the Brisbane CBD, the suburbs, the countryside on the opposite side of the river or the river itself. These houses tend to be very expensive as spare residential land is rare in Mount Ommaney.

Mount Ommaney has one golf course/country club that offers dining overlooking the course and across to the hill and creek. McLeod Country Golf Club has a course of 18 holes.[11] Alfresco dining on the verandah is available at McLeod. [11]
