Brightview is a rural locality. The larger north-eastern part (15.9 square kilometres (6.1 sq mi)) is in Somerset Region and is mostly used for farming; that part is in the federal electorate of Blair. The smaller south-western part (8.5 square kilometres (3.3 sq mi)) in Lockyer Valley Region is more residential in character; that part is in the federal electorate of Wright.[3]
The northern boundary is Lockyer Creek.[3] Brightview Weir is located on the creek at 27.4965°S 152.5013°E / -27.4965; 152.5013 (Brightview Weir).[4]
Brightview was originally named Tarampa Flats and then Lobethal. It is thought the present name was the name of a pastoral property owned by Ernest Christian Frederick Beutel.[2]
Tarampa Flat Provisional School opened on 25 November 1902, being renamed Brightview Provisional School in 1906. It became Brightview State School on 1 January 1909. It closed on 11 May 1962.[5]
It is unclear when the Apostolic church opened, but an Apostolic congregation was already established in Tarampa Flats by 1911.[6]
In the 2016 census, Brightview had a population of 813 people.[1]
The Apostolic Church of Queensland has a church and adjoining cemetery at 22 Thorne Street just off Brightview Road.[8]
