Yarrabilba Vision
Contribution to Managing South East Queensland Growth

Key issues confronting South East Queensland
 
Continued Demand
|  |
 | 1.5 million people to be accommodated in South East Queensland (SEQ) over the next 20 years |
| Continued demand for new houses in outer suburbs |
| High demand for housing in the Brisbane - Gold Coast corridor |
Limited Supply
| |
| Master planned community sites in the Brisbane - Gold Coast corridor is very limited |
| Land supply in the Brisbane - Gold Coast corridor likely to be exhausted by approximately 2020 |
| Few options to expand land supply in a coordinated manner |
Fragmentation of Sites
|  |
| 60% of land supply in the Brisbane - Gold Coast corridor are land holdings of less than 4 ha in size |
| The development of fragmented sites results in poor integrated community outcomes |
The Opportunity
|  |
| 2,012 ha parcel within 15 minutes of Gold Coast Highway providing over 17,000 dwellings |
| Gently undulating and largely unconstrained site |
| A fully master planned community at a size that allows for the delivery of innovative approaches to development |
| A “model city”, which can relieve the pressure to develop existing 'green belts' |
| To provide complementary employment and educational opportunities for the region |
Yarrabilba's positive contribution to the region
The 2,012 hectare development of Yarrabilba will see the development of a “model city” offering the following positive impacts on the South East Queensland region:
Sets the standards for urban development by providing:
|  |
| An integrated community, that is not possible with the ad-hoc development of fragmented parcels |
| A long-term demonstration project to promote "best practice development" for other areas of South East Queensland |
| A fully master planned community built on ecologically sustainable principles |
| Densities sufficient to support sustainable public transport initiatives |
Relieves pressure in the Brisbane to Gold Coast corridor to develop land which is:
|  |
| More ecologically sensitive |
| More physically constrained |
| Fragmented |
| Required as an inter-urban break |
| Good quality agricultural land |
Brings employment and services with:
|  |
| An innovative jobs strategy with the objective of creating job opportunities for residents within Yarrabilba and surrounding areas |
| Focus on skills development and research |
| Full range of services |
| Public transport connection to Loganlea and Beenleigh |
| Improved connections to major employment nodes |
Complements Regional Centres
|  |
| Yarrabilba will support and complement the key metropolitan centre of Beenleigh |
| Yarrabilba will provide complementary services to southern Logan City |
| Yarrabilba will support other key industrial and commercial centres |
