Gatton is located west of Brisbane, halfway to the city of Toowoomba. It is a central part of the Lockyer Valley region as part of the world’s most productive agricultural valleys.
Large scale horticulture and logistics companies base themselves in Gatton and it serves as a shopping and commerce hub for residents of Laidley, Forest Hill, Plainlands, Esk and Lowood.
Traffic is further driven through Gatton by the University of Queensland’s Veterinary Campus located just out of town.
