QLD signs $7M Ripley Valley infrastructure agreement

A new $7 million Priority Development Area infrastructure agreement will see more roads and bridges built in one of the Queensland‘s key growth areas.

The Ripley Valley Priority Development Area covers 4680 hectares, and is located approximately five kilometres south-west of the Ipswich CBD and south of Cunningham Highway.

State Development and Infrastructure Minister Cameron Dick said the aggreement will connect more Queenslanders with affordable housing and job opportunities.

“This $7.1 million agreement will ensure the delivery of essential road and bridge infrastructure along Binnies Road,” Mr. Dick said.

“The agreement is crucial to unlocking an additional 3300 affordable residential sites in one of the largest and most important urban growth areas in Australia.”

Orchard Property Group Managing Director Brent Hailey said the agreement is necessary to meet the region’s future housing needs.

“The western end of this corridor would not have been able to be opened up without the catalyst infrastructure funding provided by EDQ,” Mr. Hailey said.

“As one of several land owners, we were unable to proceed without this capital funding, which will see greater land supply and affordability in this corridor.”
