The location is an important transport hub for southern Brisbane. Logan Road and Ipswich Road pass through the area as does the South East Busway with a station called Buranda busway station. The Pacific Motorway passes through the area. There is also the Buranda railway station on the Cleveland railway line.

The Centro Buranda Shopping Centre is located at Buranda. This opened in 1978, originally named Buranda Plaza. The site historically was occupied by Buranda's tram depot followed by Buranda Bus Depot, prior to redevelopment into the shopping mall. A brick heritage-listed Brisbane City Council ventilation shaft, built in 1913, is located in the centre's carpark.
