Drewvale is 26.1 kilometres (16 mi) south of the Brisbane CBD and borders with Logan City. Drewvale is located at the interchange of the Gateway Motorway and the Logan Motorway. It is the fourth most southern suburb of Brisbane, after Parkinson, Larapinta and Heathwood. However, Drewvale contains the southernmost residential properties in Brisbane, as the southern extents of Parkinson, Heathwood and Larapinta contain only industrial and commercial development.[citation needed]
