Fitzgibbon is Brisbane's newest suburb, carved out of Carseldine in 2012. It's a test case for modern urban infill — higher density, walkable, transit-oriented. Holy Spirit College (Catholic secondary, opened 2022) is the educational anchor. Carseldine station on the Redcliffe Peninsula line is a 10-minute walk. Early signs suggest the experiment is working.

Fitzgibbon was created as part of the Fitzgibbon Urban Development Area — a 295-hectare renewal zone covering parts of Carseldine, Bald Hills, Taigum, and Deagon. The suburb is named after a pioneering Brisbane family. It's still taking shape, with new homes, parks, and streets being added as development rolls out.

Holy Spirit College (Catholic secondary, opened 2022) is the suburb's educational anchor. Carseldine station on the Redcliffe Peninsula line is a 10-minute walk. The Carseldine Urban Village — with retail and commercial precinct — is adjacent. Fitzgibbon represents the future of Brisbane's north: denser, more walkable, transit-oriented.
