Eight Mile Plains is a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is 14.38 kilometres south-southeast of the Brisbane central business district.
The name of Eight Mile Plains is linked to the early days of settlement. It refers to the area’s topography as well as the distance (eight miles) by bush track to One Mile (1.6 km) Swamp (now Woolloongabba). In 1861, over 7,800 acres (32 km2) in the nearby Coopers Plains area had been proclaimed the Brisbane Agricultural Reserve. In 1864 this was extended by a further 5,500 acres (22 km2) and the Eight Mile Plains Agricultural Reserve was formed. It comprised the current suburbs of Sunnybank, Sunnybank Hills, Runcorn, Kuraby, Eight Mile Plains and parts of Coopers Plains, Algester and Stretton. Electricity was extended to the district in 1936 and in 1958 a new school was constructed to service the area.
