If there’s one suburb our team at AMAC can show you that truly embodies the future of smart, connected living in Queensland, it’s Springfield. Located around 25 km southwest of Brisbane CBD and just 15 minutes from Ipswich, Springfield isn’t just a suburb; it’s a purpose-built satellite city.

Designed from the ground up to support growth, education, health, and lifestyle, Springfield has become one of Australia’s most successful and fastest-growing master-planned communities.

A City with a Vision

Springfield itself is the heart of the Greater Springfield region, which spans more than 2,800 hectares and is built around six key pillars: health, education, IT, energy, business, and residential development. Since its establishment in the early 1990s, the area has evolved from basic paddocks into a thriving urban centre with over 45,000 residents, and that number continues to rise.

At the core of Springfield is Springfield Central, a booming hub of activity packed with schools, a university, a hospital, shops, and a major train station, everything you’d expect in a small city but with room to grow.

Lifestyle and Amenities

Life in Springfield is designed for liveability and convenience. Locals enjoy wide, modern streets, beautifully landscaped parks, and a strong sense of community. The suburb is home to Orion Springfield Central, a major shopping centre with supermarkets, fashion retailers, restaurants, and even a lagoon-style public swimming pool, all contributing to the strong sense of community that makes Springfield a welcoming place to live.

The suburb also features a cutting-edge Mater Private Hospital, the Robelle Domain parklands, and the Springfield Central Sports Complex,all part of an infrastructure boom designed to support long-term growth and family-friendly living.

Green Space and Recreation

Despite its urban planning, Springfield hasn’t skimped on green space. The area features kilometres of bike trails, lakes, and shaded walking paths, with standouts including:

• Robelle Domain – 24 hectares of parkland with interactive play areas, water features, an amphitheatre, and event spaces.
• Orion Lagoon – A free public swimming facility that’s a hit with families.
• Springfield Lakes parks and reserves – Smaller neighbourhood parks perfect for weekend strolls or dog walks.

Outdoor living is a major part of life in Springfield, blending urban convenience with natural serenity. The area’s extensive green spaces, including kilometres of bike trails, lakes, and shaded walking paths, provide ample opportunities to connect with nature and enjoy a peaceful lifestyle, ensuring you’re never too far from the tranquillity of the outdoors.

Springfield is built around education. It’s home to the University of Southern Queensland (USQ Springfield campus) and a number of prestigious schools including:

• St Peters Lutheran College Springfield

Springfield’s focus on education, from prep to university, and its family-friendly nature make it a standout choice for families.

Springfield’s exceptional connectivity, both present and future, makes it an ideal place to live. The Springfield Central train station provides direct access to Brisbane via the Ipswich-Rosewood line, while the Centenary Highway ensures easy and quick commuting by car.

With promising future plans for additional rail infrastructure and public transport investment, Springfield’s connectivity is set to improve, offering residents a more convenient and efficient lifestyle.
