The development of a 25-kilometre public transport corridor from Ipswich Central to Springfield Central is seen as critical to the future of the city and South East Queensland.

A special report presented to Ipswich City Council this week, Ipswich Central to Springfield Central Public Transport Corridor, details the importance of this line, including providing an essential link to new suburbs emerging across the city, new business and employment opportunities.

Council’s Economic Development manager Paul Massingham said, “The Ipswich Central to Springfield Central Public Transport Corridor is approximately 25km in length and is proposed to include the construction of nine stations [including one at Redbank Plains],” he said.

The Ipswich Central to Springfield Central Public Transport Corridor is recognised as a priority project by the State Government and is considered the region’s highest priority infrastructure project to meet the needs of our future growth.
