Police were called to the address around 9.50am on Sunday, where Mr Leavers was located. Authorities have confirmed his death is not being treated as suspicious, with investigations continuing.
Mr Leavers held the position of Queensland Cross-Border Commissioner at the time of his death. He previously served as President of the Queensland Police Union of Employees for more than 15 years and was a former member of the Queensland Police Service.
Queensland Police Service Commissioner Steve Gollschewski APM paid tribute to Mr Leavers, acknowledging his significant contribution to the organisation and its members.
Commissioner Gollschewski said Mr Leavers led with dedication and purpose during his tenure as union president, building strong relationships across the service and advocating tirelessly for frontline officers.
The commissioner highlighted Mr Leavers’ role in introducing policy improvements and better working conditions for police members, particularly during challenging periods.
Mr Leavers’ death is expected to have a considerable impact across the police service and the wider community due to his longstanding connections and advocacy work.

We’ve combed Jamboree Heights, Jindalee, Middle Park, Mount Ommaney, Riverhills, Sumner, Sumner Park BC, and Westlake for the best reviewed restaurants in the area where people waxed lyrical about their dining experience and what they love most about it. Here’s our list!
Travis Chalmers ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic as always, time and time again. By far the best pizza in Brisbane, and a full menu of cocktails to match. Special shoutout to Kane – he will always go above and beyond to ensure each customer has a fantastic experience, and I consider his service level to be one of the best around. You will not regret coming here. Very reasonably priced as well. Pizza in the photo is a half n half – Paella and Reef n Beef.
S Andrews ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We ordered for Takeaways! The gorgonzola calzone was cooked perfectly — nice and crunchy, with just the right amount of saltiness and a great hit of blue cheese. The pepperoni pizza was yummm! You could tell the pepperoni was really good quality. Both pastas we ordered were absolutely amazing — honestly, I couldn’t fault them at all. Literally finished every single dish which is unusual for us!
Laura Grace ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The pizzas here are unmatched. They are the standard you find in Venice. The service is from friendly young people. The wait time for food tends to be a little longer than standard however it is well worth the wait as the ingredients are fresh and packed on. It’s a nice deck area I just wish the lighting was a little less stark and more ambient to enhance the vibe, but this is a preference. Would be lovely to have music too. The bar is gorgeous and attention to detail has been put into the overall aesthetics of the venue. The app and website make easy booking and ordering. Overall I recommend this place, thank you for being a valuable restaurant in our community.
Bryan Belcher ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an amazing evening! We chose to celebrate my twin boys 22 Birthday at Icarus Greek. We are so glad we did! The service was fantastic, food brilliant, and a lovely relaxing atmosphere. The manager that took our order was brilliant, and the young ladies that were serving were great. The food is truly amazing . There are so many bursting flavours. Thanks to everyone. A small kitchen at the back producing great food. Well done. We will be back . Thank you for helping make my sons 22 birthday memorable ❤️ 💪👍👊🙏.
Angela Kajar ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great greek food, generous serves. We visited Sunday evening to celebrate 3 family birthdays. Recommend the Saganaki, calamari, souvlaki plates, keftedes and pastitsio. Service from the young waitresses was ok. Perhaps as we were seated round the corner we might have been slightly overlooked as entree plates weren’t cleared until they came to deliver the main dishes which was a bit of a juggle. A little bit loud on the deck from the traffic going down the street, but overall a good night.
Chin Keong Yoong ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The food was amazing. My family and friends love every thing we order. The customer service was awesome. Attended our needs very promptly and professionally. Highly recommended to anyone want to try Greek cuisine.
Keith McAuliffe ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good service. Nice and peaceful on the idyllic Westlake drive, with a really nice out door seating area surrounded by these Mediterraneany arches. Atmosphere is warm, friendly, happy peaceful. Good place to talk with friends of the beaten path.
Inaya Halpin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had brunch today and the service was lovely and also our food. Looking forward to see a full menu on our next visit.
Elliott Bledsoe ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’ve been here a few times and can say that it is consistently good food. It looks good and tastes good. We’ve had the omelet a few times and it’s always good. The breakfast tacos are also very good, as is the fritters. And there’s often unique little touches, like the lightly pickled fennel with the fritters. Delicious! And the coffee is good too. So the question isn’t to be or not to be, but to go today and tomorrow too!
Albany Yak ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Burger’s and sides. Service was very good and reasonable price. Can’t wait to come back.
Denis Forbes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Family recommended this place and wow not disappointed. Value for money is downright amazing, $10 burger is truly something I thought I wouldn’t see outside of chain fast food restaurants. Oh and the chips, I’ve eaten many a chip, even made many a thrice cooked chip, and these are just bloody good. Wish I lived in the area as this place would be a weekly visit location. Thanks for providing a solid feed for the family for a price that isn’t ridiculous!
Tony Robertson ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Always fantastic burgers here, and well worth the drive. Guaranteed you’ll find a few different burgers to your liking here.
Karen Lay-Brew ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of our regular local faves for consistently good quality meals. Love that they have “The Wise” option in the menu for … well, those of us who are more wise. The barman introduced me to Pub+ app – a reward system, that has given back a few freebies.
Ishan Sethi ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of organising a function at Centenary Tavern and was assisted by the lovely female manager. She was incredibly helpful, polite, and made the whole booking process so smooth and stress-free. Her friendly attitude and attention to detail really stood out. Highly recommend this place, especially if you’re planning an event, you’re in great hands with the management team. The food was also great and helpful with all our dietary requirements
Cassie Lee ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Visited on ANZAC day for 2 Up. Staff member who ran it did a great job. Had a steak and it was cooked beautifully. Didn’t take long to come out, and all the staff were lovely. Will definitely be back.
Centenary, as it is known today, consists of several suburbs namely, Jindalee, Mount Ommaney, Jamboree Heights, Middle Park, Westlake, Riverhills, Sumner, Sinnamon Park, and Seventeen Mile Rocks.
Do you know how and why Centenary was formed? Let’s take a look back at the historic past of Centenary and the origins of the names of its suburbs.

In 1959, Queensland’s Centenary Year, a land developer named Hooker Rex planned the Centenary project. The project was a suburban development proposal that included a number of neighbourhoods with their own services and facilities that are capable of providing for all the needs of its residents.
The development started with the purchase of farmland in 1960. The contract for 1,416 hectare-development was agreed upon by the Council in 1961.

The Centenary Bridge and Highway were among the most important parts of the development as it provided access to and from the city and the northern suburbs. Officially opened on 14 October 1964, the Centenary Bridge was financed by the developers while the Centenary Highway was built by the Brisbane City Council still at the developers’ expense.
The suburbs and industrial estates that were planned to be a part of the Centenary project were Jindalee, Jamboree Heights, Mount Ommaney, Riverhills, Westlake, Middle Park, and Sumner. Meanwhile, Seventeen Mile Rocks and Sinnamon Park were developed separately.

The development was under the management of a public company called the Centenary Estates Limited for six years. In October 1967, the private shareholders were bought out by the Hooker Corporation Limited and the entire project was once again owned by the corporation.
The Establishment of the Centenary Suburbs
Jindalee

Jindalee is an Aboriginal word which means “bare hills”. The establishment of the suburb in September 1962 brought the first public transport in the area, a bus going to and from Oxley Station.
Among the earliest establishments in the district were the Jindalee Golf Course, Swimming Pool, Bowls Club and the Looranah St. shopping centre. With its well-established golf course, swimming pool, and sporting facilities, it wasn’t long before Jindalee became a centre for sporting activities.
Jamboree Heights
Jamboree Heights was initially a part of Jindalee. When the Boy Scout held it’s Eighth Australian Pan-Pacific Scout Jamboree in Brisbane, Hooker Centenary provided the site. Later on, the place came to be called Jamboree Heights.
The 50th Anniversary of that historic Jamboree was celebrated in Jamboree Heights in January 2018. During that time, the participants learned more about the first Queensland Jamboree in 1967-1968.
Mount Ommaney is considerably larger than Jindalee and Jamboree Heights. Despite the sloping nature of the terrain in the area, Hooker Centenary was able to develop a number of “Private Courts” in Mount Ommaney in January 1970, a feat considered a first in Australia.

Each private court contains approximately seven homes, each with their own private entrance and shared private ownership of internal roads and nature strips.
Mount Ommaney became a prestige homesite that offers excellent views of the mountains and the city.
The suburb is also home to the first women’s golf club in Australia, the McLeod Country Golf Club, which was completed in 1969. The original golf club was comprised of 9 holes and a clubhouse. It was later extended to a full complement of 18 holes in 1971.
Riverhills

Riverhills is named for its ideal location offering sweeping panoramic views of the Brisbane River. In January 1973, it was mainly marketed by the developer as a suburb for young people with young families, designed with a cul-de-sac concept that focuses on having a quiet environment with lots of privacy. Many of its streets were named after rivers, lakes, and other waterways of the world.
Westlake
Photo credit: raywhitecentenary.com
Westlake was named by the developers in June 1973 for its nine-hectare freshwater lake. The developers maximised the landscape to give most of its homesites a view of the vast lake.
Sumner
Sumner was named after the Sumner family who had been farmers and landholders in the area. Though the name was originally given to a road, the suburb later adapted the name in 1969.
Seventeen Mile Rocks

The Seventeen Mile Rocks suburb used to include Sinnamon Park in 1975 as it extended farther west. With the development of Sinnamon Park, the boundaries of the suburb changed and currently, part of the Edenbrooke Estate is in Seventeen Mile Rocks and part in Sinnamon Park.
Seventeen Mile Rocks have gone through several developments under different estate developers namely ECOSSE Investments Pty Ltd, BMD Constructions, Baldwin-Riverlands, and Verandah.
Middle Park
Middle Park was strategically named by the developers in July 1976 to reflect its location in the middle of the Centenary Suburbs. The area offers northerly views of the McLeod Country Golf Club.
Sinnamon Park
In 1989, Sinnamon Park was developed originating from the suburb Seventeen Mile Rocks. The new suburb was named after the family of James Sinnamon and Margaret, who were the pioneer European settlers in the area.

Today, Sinnamon Park houses a memorial dedicated to Thomas Macleod to celebrate his historic flights on 22 December 1910.

A senior teacher from Mount Ommaney Special School has been honoured with a prestigious TEACHX Award, recognising her transformative contributions to inclusive education and cultural awareness at the school.
Emma Reid’s Impact at Mount Ommaney Special School
Emma Reid, a dedicated educator at Mount Ommaney Special School, was recognised for her outstanding efforts in bringing specialised non-verbal drama practices to the school, a unique approach designed for students with intellectual and multiple disabilities.
In 2022, she organised a collaboration with the UK-based Open Theatre Company, leading to a two-week residency that introduced the technique to students. Ms Reid secured funding from Brisbane to make this initiative possible, and the program has since become a key part of the school’s curriculum.
Ms Reid has continued to spread this non-verbal drama practice across Queensland, earning a Creative Fellowship from the city in 2024 to further her studies in England with the Open Theatre Company. Her innovative work in the creative arts field has gained attention beyond the school, with Mount Ommaney Special School becoming a finalist in the Sydney Opera House Play Awards.
In addition to her contributions to the performing arts, Ms Reid has been instrumental in promoting cultural awareness at Mount Ommaney Special School. She was a founding member of the school’s Reconciliation Action Committee and chaired it for several years.
Under her leadership, the school developed a visually and linguistically accessible Acknowledgement of Country, which has been integrated into the daily practices of the school’s classrooms.
Ms Reid also played a key role in enhancing the school library by facilitating the acquisition of Indigenous resources and coordinating the creation of two murals with a local Indigenous family. One of the murals, titled “Learning on Country,” now holds a prominent place in the school’s library, reflecting her commitment to embedding Indigenous culture into the school environment.
Ms Reid’s contributions at Mount Ommaney Special School will be acknowledged as part of the Excellence in Teaching category during a ceremony in Brisbane on 24 October 2024.
The awards, which highlight teachers from various sectors and regions of Queensland, aim to inspire and recognise educators who go above and beyond for their students.
A 56-year-old man is facing more than 100 charges related to the alleged covert filming of women and children at Mount Ommaney Shopping Centre. The incidents reportedly occurred between November 2023 and January 2024.
The case came to light on January 6 when a 12-year-old girl noticed she was being filmed on an escalator by a man using a camera attached to a walking stick. Her family promptly reported the incident to the police.
Following an investigation, the suspect was apprehended on January 11. A search of his camera allegedly revealed numerous indecent videos and photographs of women taken without consent in public areas of the shopping centre. A subsequent warrant executed at a Jamboree Heights residence uncovered additional electronic storage devices containing similar content.
Initially charged with five offences, including indecent treatment of a child under 16, the man appeared in court in February and was remanded in custody. However, after a thorough forensic examination of seized devices and CCTV footage, detectives from Inala’s Child Protection and Investigation Unit (CPIU) have now laid 94 additional charges.
The suspect now faces a total of 106 counts of observations or recording in breach of privacy, one count of indecent treatment of a child under 16 (take photograph), one count of attempted recordings in breach of privacy, and two counts of stalking.
The accused remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on August 23. Police are urging anyone with information or who may have witnessed suspicious activity at Mount Ommaney Shopping Centre between November 2023 and January 2024 to come forward.
Mount Ommaney homeowners hold onto their properties for an average of 20.3 years, making it the suburb with the longest tenure rate in Brisbane, according to new CoreLogic data.
The report from CoreLogic highlights that several Brisbane suburbs have notably low property turnover rates, with Mount Ommaney leading the charge. Homeowners in this leafy and laidback suburb are reluctant to leave, with the average tenure period extending over two decades. Following closely are Tivoli with an average of 18.4 years, Wishart at 17.9 years, Middle Park at 17.8 years, and Robertson at 17.7 years. This is significantly higher than Brisbane’s overall average of 8.1 years.

The Appeal of Family-Friendly Suburbs
Tim Lawless, CoreLogic’s research director, attributes these extended hold periods to the family-friendly, middle-class nature of these areas. These suburbs offer a lifestyle that promotes long-term residency, with middle-income earners finding it more achievable to break into and remain in these markets.
Lawless explained that these areas may not be described as blue-chip, but they offer a lifestyle cycle that encourages long tenure periods. With rising property prices and lower turnover rates city-wide, affordable suburbia has become a prized commodity in Brisbane.
Mount Ommaney: Community and Lifestyle
The community spirit and convenient amenities in Mount Ommaney make it an attractive place to settle down. NGU Real Estate’s Jason Yang noted that the Jamboree Heights State School catchment is a significant draw for families. The suburb’s proximity to the CBD, combined with a close-knit community, keeps residents rooted.
Yang mentioned that it is difficult to find another area 15 kilometres from the CBD that offers a similar lifestyle. He noted that lowset homes are now starting at $680,000, a stark contrast to the higher prices seen just a couple of years ago.
Real estate agents from LJ Hooker and Ray White also confirmed the high demand and limited supply in these suburbs, driving up property values and keeping turnover rates low.
Another reason residents stay put is the tight-knit community in Mount Ommaney. Multiple generations of families often live in the same suburb, enjoying the benefits of established neighbourhoods and strong community ties.
Mt Ommaney native Timothy Despina Marshall is set to showcase his critically acclaimed debut feature film “In the Room Where He Waits” in Brisbane cinemas.
“In the Room Where He Waits,” a psychological horror that has been hailed as “the year’s best Australian horror” and “one of the best Australian debut features,” marks the realisation of Marshall’s long-held dream to create his first film in his hometown.
Marshall’s journey from a horror-obsessed kid in Mt Ommaney to an award-winning filmmaker is a testament to his passion and perseverance. He honed his craft using nothing more than a camcorder and a bottle of tomato sauce for fake blood, creating amateur horror flicks with his friends.

“This film looks at fears of loneliness and aging, and brings them to life in an unnerving claustrophobic nightmare,” Marshall explains, drawing parallels between his work and the collective experience of isolation during recent global events. “I wanted the hotel room Tobin is trapped in to become the manifestation of his deepest fears. Something many of us can relate to after spending so much time stuck inside in recent years.”
Photo supplied
The film centres on Tobin Wade, an ambitious young star played by rising talent Daniel Monks. Forced to isolate in a hotel room before his father’s funeral, Wade confronts his subconscious fears as they materialise around him, blurring the lines between reality and nightmare.
Monks, known for his roles in indie horror “Sissy” and the Aussie-made American comedy “Ricky Stanicky,” brings depth to the tormented lead. His involvement, along with his upcoming appearance in Netflix’s “Kaos” alongside Jeff Goldblum, adds to the film’s growing buzz.
Marshall’s Mt Ommaney roots have clearly influenced his artistic vision, proving that sometimes, you don’t have to venture far from home to make a significant impact in the film industry. His success serves as an inspiration to aspiring filmmakers in Brisbane and beyond.
Reviews
“Not only one of the best queer Australian films it is also one of the best Australian debut features. Haunting, deeply affecting, and resonant.”
Nadine Whitney (Alliance of Women Film Journalists)
Director Timothy Despina Marshall has crafted an intensely claustrophobic film. While many of us are still attempting to heal from the trauma that was the Covid-19 pandemic (particularly if you lived in Melbourne!) and this film does a great job of really tapping into that to capitalise on any unresolved feelings you have about this period. Having the lead trapped in a room, unable to leave for any reason is also the perfect setting for a horror movie.
Alaisdair Leith, Novastream Network
Local film enthusiasts can catch “In the Room Where He Waits” at a special screening this Sunday, June 30, 4:00 pm at Dendy Coorparoo.
As Timothy Despina Marshall’s star continues to rise, Mt Ommaney can proudly claim him as one of their own – a local whose childhood passion has blossomed into a promising career in the competitive world of filmmaking.
The incident occurred at Mozart Place, where Veri Kostidnovac and her husband have resided for 55 years.
“I don’t know what they were chasing,” said a visibly shaken Ms Kostidnovac, who now fears being on her own property.
Video footage shows the gang attempting to break into homes before police arrived on the scene. The group managed to escape in a car before the police could apprehend them.
The driver of the stolen car, a 15-year-old youth offender, drove so dangerously that the police had to suspend the pursuit.
Queensland Police Detective Inspector Wayne Frances described the situation as “extremely dangerous”, posing a risk not only to the police officers involved, but also to the community and the offenders themselves.
The median house price in Mount Ommaney rose by over 30 per cent during the 12-month period ending September 2021. Mt Ommaney, dubbed the “unofficial retirement community for the moderately wealthy” by locals, is benefiting from strong demand and low inventory, as people spend more time at home and look for larger properties and a suburb offering a more laid-back lifestyle.
Highlights
The median house price in Mount Ommaney showed a 32.96 per cent uptick between the period of October 2020 to September 2021, at $1,250,000 with only 31 properties sold within the period.
The unit market, however, is down by 1.83 per cent with just 14 properties sold during the 12-month period.
House Price Growth
According to Property Market Updates, Mount Ommaney experienced a 32.98 per cent growth from October 2020 to September 2021, resulting in a remarkable median house price uptick to $1,250,000, up from $940,000 in the previous period. Thirty-one homes were sold during this period within an average of 48 days on market. Among these houses sold, 17 of them were five-bedroom properties in the million-dollar range.
Off an elevated section on Becker Place, a five-bedroom house standing on an expansive 1,348-square metre lot pulled the highest sale, changing hands for $1,850,000.
Designed as a modern Tuscan villa, this house has the Mount Ommaney Bushland Reserve in its backyard, the home to kangaroos and many of Australia’s rich wildlife.
Buyers are seeing the value of houses in the western corridor, where the homes set on larger blocks of land are now more desirable, as buyers look towards more spacious homes outside Brisbane’s inner-ring area.
Unit Price Growth
Mount Ommaney’s unit market, however, has gone down by 1.83 per cent for the period October 2020 to September 2021. Both stock and demand are down, as the median year-on-year remains largely flat. Only 14 properties were sold during this 12-month period with listings going for an average of 79 days.
Granted, the majority of dwelling options in Mount Ommaney are detached homes while townhouses and serviced apartments, mostly for occupancy by downsizers and retirees, make up just under one per cent of the stocks.
About Mount Ommaney
Mount Ommaney is located 13 kilometres southwest of Brisbane CBD. Developed as a part of the Centenary Suburbs residential project in the 1960s, Mount Ommaney has attracted residents who love the area’s natural diversity with the Brisbane River by its doorstep.
Dubbed the “unofficial retirement community for the moderately wealthy” by the locals, this suburb has a large, protected forest and stone quarry that both lend a unique beauty to the surroundings. The air and atmosphere around Mount Ommaney’s neighbourhoods deliver the countryside vibe, where residents live in solitude and have much more space to work, live, and play.
However, Mount Ommaney locals also have everything they need within their reach as its sole, massive shopping centre has over 170 specialty shops and some of Australia’s largest chain stores.
“I have lived in Mount Ommaney for 7 years now. I chose it because the homes were on larger blocks and it has a medium sized shopping centre close by with the major department stores. It’s a short drive to Indooroopilly if you are looking for more upmarket shops. The CBD is within 15km. There are good playgrounds, three closeby primary schools including an excellent Lutheran private school.”

“I moved here when new houses were still being constructed, there was no high school, no police station and Mount Ommaney Centre was a strip mall basically with a small Coles. It’s grown up since then. It’s safe, kids still walk to school and ride bikes. The trees have grown to form an impressive canopy which supports an ever expanding assortment of wildlife and birdlife. I’ve seen echnidna in my yard a few times. It is important to identify the streets with traffic noise though. One end of Mount Ommaney Drive is quite busy, the other end towards Jindalee is very quiet. I live in one of the private Courts, it’s so quiet at night that the only thing that disturbs my sleep are the possums running across the roof. Be warned though, lots of trees and vegetation means lots of gardening tasks. If you’d rather not be in the garden, there are other suburbs that might better suit.”
When word got around that Cinnabon is planning to open a store in Mount Ommaney, MP Jess Pugh extended a challenge to the American bakery chain to aim for its annual business award under the franchise category in 2020.
Ms Pugh welcomed the news of Cinnabon coming to Mount Ommaney. She believes that the brand will be a great addition to competitive awards.
“I’m pretty sure it’s because they want to win the Franchise award next year,” she said in jest on Facebook. “May the best franchise win!!”
Bansal Group plans to open an initial four Cinnabon stores in Brisbane in the next few months as it advertised job opening for store managers. The company confirmed that it will be opening its very first location around Christmas time whilst the second shop will be operational by January 2020.
“Our first two locations will be in Nundah and Mt Gravatt. Get ready for the goodness,” a post on Cinnabon Australia Facebook‘s page stated.
Bansal Group has yet to reveal the exact locations of its first Cinnabon stores.
However, the Nundah outlet is reportedly going to be at the Toombul Shopping Centre, whilst the Mt Gravatt spot is speculated at either Westfield Garden City or Mt Gravatt Plaza Shopping Centre.
The other two locations are said to be planned at Westfield Chermside and Mount Ommaney Centre.
The Cinnabon outlets will be taking over vacant kiosks at the shopping centres. A rendering of the first store was posted on its Facebook page.

Bansal Group has projected to open 50 Cinnabon stores around Australia in the next five years. The U.S. bakery, dubbed the “world’s greatest cinnamon roll,” has over 1,500 outlets globally in its nearly 35 years of operation.
