Regency Downs is located in the Lockyer Valley and is immediately north of the Warrego Highway and Plainland and east of Glenore Grove.[4]
It is approximately 75 kilometres from Brisbane and 55 kilometres from Toowoomba.[citation needed]
The Lockyer Valley Regional Council is the local government authority for Regency Downs.[2]
Historically a rural area, it has increasingly been subdivised into rural residential house sites reducing the agriculture in the locality. The predominant land use is housing with the remainder of the land used for grazing on native vegetation.[4]
The locality was named and bounded on 3 June 1994 and amended on 26 May 2000.[2] The district was re-gazetted on 29 August 2008 due to local council amalgamations under the Local Government Reform Implementation Act 2007.[2]
The population of Regency Downs has consistently grown from 2006 to 2021.
