Warner is a suburb north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Its Local Government Area is the Moreton Bay Region located 22 kilometres north of the Brisbane central business district. Warner is situated east of Lake Samsonvale and west of the urban localities of Strathpine, Brendale, Bray Park and Lawnton. The origin of the name Warner is from an early civilian surveyor by the name of James Warner.[2]
The predominant style of development in this community is Park Residential, however new urban developments are occurring in this area. Warner has recently undergone refurbishment from rural land usage to urban. Prior to this, the predominant use of the land was rural, and Warner still contains many rural properties.
Post-2000 establishments in Warner include the Warner Lakes housing estate on 206 hectares of land previously used for potato farming, and a retail and commerce estate on the corner of Samsonvale Road and Old North Road which is the location of the first financial institution established in Warner, The Bank of Queensland. Roads have recently been upgraded in parts of Warner, which now includes three sets of traffic lights. Further development to the area has led to the inclusion of a McDonalds, Subway, Warner Chinese Restaurant and The Warner Tavern.
