What to consider in Springfield.
Like North Lakes and Forest Lake, Springfield is built on heavily engineered land. By draining the water table in the area, they’ve converted what was semi-marshland into a thriving community. This does however give me pause when I am asked to do a building inspection in Springfield. There have been incidents where the engineered draining has failed on the Gold Coast. So I am always cautious and take particular care with under floor and foundation inspections when I’m looking at properties on reclaimed land.
Why Choose Springfield?
Springfield is a suburb in the city of Ipswich, some 30 minutes south of Brisbane’s city centre. At the time it was constructed, it was the largest master-planned community in Australia and has continued to grow and develop at a fast rate. Houses in Springfield are new, mostly low-set or double storey brick, with sizeable yards – making this suburb perfect for couples with children! Families are well-catered for, with easy access to several primary schools and high schools, as well as a host of early childhood centres. For students, the University of Southern Queensland, as well as TAFE, both have campuses in Springfield.
If lifestyle is your main drawcard, Springfield is also home to large parklands, with the biggest being the Robelle Domain. Here, you’ll find an interactive playground, lagoons, treetop walks, shady picnic areas, and plenty of space to relax and wind down with your family. Shopping is also huge in Springfield, with the Orion and Springfield Shopping Centres catering to everyone’s needs. The Centenary Motorway and Springfield’s own trainline make it very easy to commute to Ipswich or Brisbane City for work, or to the Gold Coast for beach trips on the weekend.
