Cavendish Road is an arterial road in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, linking the suburbs of Coorparoo, Holland Park and Mount Gravatt East. [1]
Cavendish Road commences at Coorparoo Secondary College near Bridgewater Creek in Coorparoo and then runs in an approximately southeasterly direction over hilly terrain. It terminates at the intersection with Creek Road in Mount Gravatt East. Although the road appears to continue beyond that point, it becomes Newnham Road. [1]
The road first appears in a survey of Coorparoo in July 1863. [2]
A number of the early residents were keen whist players and the book commonly known as Cavendish on Whist was considered the authority on the game. Cavendish was the pen name of English writer and whist player Henry Jones, who was a member of the Cavendish Whist Club. This is said to be the origin of the road name. [2]
Cavendish Road State High School was constructed at 695 Cavendish Road in Holland Park. It opened on 9 April 1951. [3]
Significant landmarks on Cavendish Road include:
The entire road is in the Brisbane local government area. [1]

The City of Brisbane is a local government area (LGA) which comprises the inner portion of the metropolitan area of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, Australia. Its governing body is the Brisbane City Council. Unlike LGAs in the other mainland state capitals, which are generally responsible only for the central business districts and inner neighbourhoods of those cities, the City of Brisbane administers a significant portion of the Brisbane metropolitan area, serving almost half of the population of the Brisbane Greater Capital City Statistical Area (GCCSA). As such, it has a larger population than any other local government area in Australia. The City of Brisbane was the first Australian LGA to reach a population of more than one million. Its population is roughly equivalent to the populations of Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory combined. In 2016–2017, the council administered a budget of over $3 billion, by far the largest budget of any LGA in Australia.
