The Greater Brisbane region accounts for 40 percent of Queensland's total population and just over 40 percent of the state's population growth - all within 0.27 percent of the state's land mass. The southeast corner of Queensland will be the destination of the future. The latest official figures show almost every major local government area in the state recorded a rise in median house prices to August, 2006. The rate of growth - more than a quarter of all of Australia's population growth over the next 25 years is expected to be in the region from Noosa to Coolangatta - will push Brisbane ahead of Melbourne as the country's second city. All those extra people will need somewhere to live - 575,000 new homes will be built in the next 20 years, according to the State Government's South-East Queensland's Regional Plan.

Property analyst Michael Matusik says cost will make inner-city living an impossible dream for all but a small, exclusive group and only the wealthy will be able to afford to live within a 15km radius of the central business district. With the average house price in southeast Queensland likely to hit $1 million by 2026, he predicts up to 45 percent of people will be renting.

The Government estimates that 475,000 new jobs will be needed to support the extra population over the next two decades. The Smart State strategy has identified knowledge-based, creative industries as the growth areas. These would include aviation and aerospace (especially in the western corridor), biotechnology, information and technology, tourism and pharmaceuticals.

Major projects proposed in the plan include

  • $2 billion of rail development on the Sunshine Coast including an additional line through Landsborough to Nambour and a new line to Maroochydore.
  • More than $1.2 billion for new busways in Brisbane including one from Dutton Park to Capalaba and another from Enoggera Creek to bracken Ridge.
  • $590 million to add a rail line from Corinda to Redbank and a new line from Darra to Springfield.
  • $500 million for a rail line to Coolangatta on the Gold Coast.
  • The heart of Brisbane will be transformed over the next 20 years under a city council masterplan. Building height limits will be removed and cars discouraged as major public transport initiatives carry people into a more pedestrian-friendly central business district.

With all of these initiatives being planned, now is the best time to purchase real estate in South East Queensland. With the current property market and new developments underway, in another 20 years the investment properties of today will become a home owners and investors dream
