The city of Ipswich is situated approximately 40 kilometers from the Brisbane CBD. It sits in the sunny and popular South-East Queensland also referred to as SEQ. It shares geographic boundaries with Brisbane on the north, the Somerset area, Logan City on the east, the Scenic Rim on the south and the Lockyer Valley on the western side.

The original landowners were the Aboriginal tribes, Jagera, Ugarapul and Yuggera people. Although European settlement started in the area in 1827, the population was not sustainable for the time until 1842. As was the case for most the wider region Ipswich’s primary use was farming, and known as a particular river port. These days the population is growing steadily every year especially since the development of the Greater Springfield area.

Ipswich has something to offer everyone with options for those who live and breath the outdoors to those of us who prefer to spend time with our loved ones indoors somewhere special. The Brassall Bikeway is a hit with those who prefer two wheels, while the Orion Shopping hub attracts hundreds of residents everyday, with the food outlets being a hit late into the night and the local Event cinema onsite always showcasing the latest holiday hit.
