Positioned within one of South East Queensland’s most tightly held and rapidly expanding growth corridors, 421-431 Haigslea Amberley Road, Walloon presents a rare large-scale development opportunity with in-principle support for up to 32* residential lots, just 9km* from the Ipswich CBD.
Set across 7.04* acres within the Walloon–Haigslea growth precinct, this property aligns with Ipswich City Council’s long-term urban expansion strategy. The site is now governed by the Ipswich City Plan 2025, which came into effect mid-2025 and introduces Emerging Community zoning, supporting future residential subdivision and smaller lot outcomes, subject to council approval.*
Development Potential & Planning Context:
- In-principle support obtained at pre-lodgement level for a 32-lot residential subdivision*
- Identified under the Emerging Community Zone within the new Ipswich Planning Scheme
- Located within the Walloon–Rosewood–Thagoona Structure Planning Area, currently being prepared by Urbis on behalf of Council
- Active engagement underway with Council, Urbis and DTMR to maximise future development outcomes
- Confirmation received that the Western Ipswich Bypass will not impact the site, with direct access to Haigslea Amberley Road supported
- This evolving planning framework is designed to unlock infrastructure delivery, including sewer, stormwater and road networks — positioning the site strongly for future subdivision progression.
Location, Infrastructure & Growth Drivers:
- Walloon is one of Ipswich’s standout growth suburbs, benefitting from sustained population growth, significant public and private infrastructure investment, and strong residential demand driven by first-home buyers and families.
- Ipswich LGA population growth: approx. +17% over the past 5 years, with continued strong growth forecast
- Ipswich CBD undergoing major transformation with health, education, retail and transport investment
- Proximity to Walloon township, Rosewood, schools, childcare, medical facilities and daily conveniences
- Easy connectivity to Ipswich CBD, Brisbane, Amberley RAAF Base and key arterial road networks
- Strong demand for new housing stock, particularly smaller, affordable residential lots
- Blocks of this size and zoning profile are increasingly scarce as supply tightens and competition intensifies among developers seeking well-located land with future-ready planning fundamentals.
Additional Value:
The property currently includes a neat three-bedroom dwelling with a secure tenancy in place until January 2027, offering holding income while planning and approvals are progressed — an ideal land-banking scenario.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Scale, zoning and structure planning alignment
- Proximity to Ipswich CBD and major growth infrastructure
- High-demand residential market driven by owner-occupiers and first-home buyers
- Long-term upside in one of SEQ’s fastest-growing corridors
- This is a strategic development or land-banking opportunity offering flexibility, scale and genuine future growth.
