The City poised to be the new Parramatta

Ipswich will become the focus of population and jobs growth in South East Queensland over the next few decades with demographer Bernard Salt likening it to Sydney’s Parramatta deliberately positioning itself to become a strong regional centre today and over the next 30 years. Jobs will decentralise out of Brisbane and into Ipswich during this decade with Brisbane’s growth spreading West towards Ipswich taking a city of 2m people upward to 3 or 4 million he said.

This region has entered a sustained period of major change and growth in industrial and commercial developments providing enormous opportunities for employment and business alike with City Council committed to provide development and growth in both jobs and population

Ipswich is very family friendly and offers an affordable and vibrant social lifestyle and outdoor environment to it’s residents and is also a great place to work being very central with modern infrastructure in a positive economic environment which is experiencing an exciting and positive economic development process … growing by 4.6% pa placing immense pressure on the supply of homes

Upward pressure on the supply of dwellings to own or rent has ensured that Ipswich home values are on the rise, rental vacancies remain at 2.2% (below Australian average) and rental yields at 5.3% (above Australian average)
