A suburban steam tram line operated by the Belmont Shire Council ran through Seven Hills, following the approximate modern route of Oateson Skyline Drive and Ferguson Road, through a station near Aventine Hill, and on to the Norman Park railway station, where passengers could connect with the railway network. It closed in 1926, the same year that the Lytton Road tram line was extended from Norman Bridge across to Wynnum Road. This was also the time that the Belmont Shire was amalgamated into the recently-formed Greater Brisbane. Note: The location of the Seven Hills station is marked here.
