Mount Sheridan
Mount Sheridan is a rapidly developing residential area, with conservation areas in the west. Mount Sheridan is bounded by the suburbs of Bayview Heights and Woree in the north, the Bruce Highway in the east, Skeleton Creek and the suburb of Bentley Park in the south, and Freshwater Creek State Forest in the west. Mount Sheridan is named after Brinsley Guise Sheridan, a police magistrate in the 1870s.
Settlement of the area dates from the late 1800s, with land used mainly for sugar cane farming. Rapid growth took place from the early 1990s, with the population increasing from under 400 in 1991 to over 7,000 in 2006, a result of large numbers of new dwellings being added to the area.
Major features of the area include Mt Sheridan Plaza, Bill Mills Park and Tom Murray Park.
