About North Lakes
North Lakes is a growing residential suburb in Brisbane's northern growth corridor, approximately 35 kilometers north of the CBD. The area is characterized by residential neighborhoods, parkland, and proximity to natural bushland reserves. This mix of suburban development and green space creates ideal habitat for a variety of snake species.
