Convenience in this corridor will be the key asset, with easy access to Ipswich and Brisbane. New and upgraded infrastructure created ahead of the population boom includes the newly extended Cunningham Highway and new budgeted rail extensions to Springfield Lakes and Redbank Plains which are expected to be completed by 2018 and 2020 respectively.
This rapidly growing region not only offers enormous investment potential, but also every amenity for the growing family; including the world standard Brookwater Golf Course and the new Orion Shopping Centre by Mirvac. Orion Springfield combines the best of a traditional town centre with its main street, town square, public spaces and parks.
