Brisbane Catholic Education has been given the go ahead to build a new primary school on Halletts Road at Redbank Plains.

The first two stages (of eight) will include classrooms, an administration building, covered PE space, canteen, play space and IT area to accommodate up to 186 students and 18 staff. Once it is fully developed, it will have enough classrooms and facilities to cater for about 780 students and 50 staff.

It’s being built in a booming area. Redbank Plains is consistently among the city’s fastest growing suburbs, with council’s latest Planning and Development Quarterly Activity Report ranking it first for population growth.

Ipswich has a great community feel and it is the people who make Ipswich such a great place to live and work. Ipswich First has put together a list of some things which are really going gangbusters across the city.

Building boom

Costco Bundamba is on track to be ready by Christmas.

The refurbished Masters Home Improvement store at Springfield will soon be turned into a mini mall of shops.

A development application has been lodged with council for various facilities, including a restaurant, food and drink outlets, chemist, childcare centre, 24-hour gym, medical centre, play centre, retail shops and showrooms.

The building at Southern Cross Circuit is expected to take shape over coming months.

Development applications have also been lodged for a new playground at Springfield Central Shopping Centre, an expansion of health city in Springfield and a parcel distribution centre at Redbank. Ripley Town Centre is expanding with a $40 million first instalment recently opened.

Singapore-based Broadway Malyan will design a 52-hectare “health city” in expanding Springfield, pegged to have a total end value of $6 billion if the development plan is fully realised.

The site, already home to the Mater Hospital and Aveo seniors’ accommodation, will be fully integrated with the masterplan encompassing education and research facilities, a 2500 apartment aged care facility, business facilities along with residential and retail offerings across the 52- hectare site.

A key feature of the project includes a Living Lab, which the urban planners say will act as a testbed for new technology related to smart living and healthcare.

Springfield founder and property mogul Maha Sinnathamby purchased the 7000 acre parcel of land no developer wanted to touch in 1992. Three decades later, Greater Springfield has transitioned from a completely undeveloped site to a residential population of 36,000 with estimates 150,000 will call Springfield home come 2035.

The new seminar series commenced on 16th September.
