This established suburb has developed since the 1970s. Mill Park’s residential areas follow a curvilinear subdivision pattern. The neighbourhood is centred around The Stables Shopping Centre located on Childs Road. Nearby to the shopping centre is the Peter Hopper Lake which is a significant waterbody in the area. The lake is currently undergoing an extensive revitalisation project, led by Council to improve its water quality.
The community is characterised by mature families and empty nester couples aged in their 50s and 60s. With a population of 28,935, Mill Park has limited opportunity for new housing growth and is forecast to reach just over 30,000 residents by 2040. At the northern end of the suburb is the regionally significant Plenty Valley Town Centre which is anchored by the Westfield Plenty Valley Shopping Centre.
