49 Taylors Road is set to become a benchmark for sustainable, community-focused development in South East Queensland.
This vibrant new community will ultimately deliver around 900 residential lots in a range of sizes, catering to a broad mix of households and lifestyle needs.
From first-home buyers to growing families, the masterplan offers flexibility while maintaining a strong focus on liveability and quality urban design. At the heart of the project lies a commitment to fostering community connection, with a network of parks and a large central green corridor offering open space for recreation, social gatherings and environmental protection. A public primary school and a special school, along with a neighbourhood shopping centre, childcare centre and other community facilities, will ensure residents have access to vital services within walking distance.
Nature and open space are central to the vision for 49 Taylors Road
Central to this development is a strong focus on environmental stewardship and sustainable outcomes. Over 48 hectares—an impressive 40% of the total site—will be preserved as open space. This includes two neighbourhood parks,
a central green corridor, and linear parklands designed to enhance the site’s natural beauty and support its ecological integrity. The project will protect significant waterways, endangered vegetation, and koala habitats, creating a harmonious blend of modern living and natural surroundings.
Residents can live close to where they work. This not only supports economic growth but also enhances quality of life by reducing commute times and promoting work-life balance.
The strategic location of the development offers excellent connectivity to major infrastructure and employment hubs. The nearby Amberley RAAF Base, one of the largest employment centres in South East Queensland, contributes significantly to local economic activity. The Ipswich CBD is a recognised Principal Activity Centre, providing a range of employment, service and government functions. Residents of 49 Taylors Road will also benefit from proximity to road and rail networks, with easy access to public transport and regional connectivity via nearby train stations.
Benchmark’s proven track record in managing complex projects shines through at 49 Taylors Road.
The development overcomes significant challenges, including the construction of 1.5 kilometres of sewer infrastructure and flood mitigation measures to safeguard residents. Upgraded local water mains, roads, and intersections will ensure infrastructure keeps pace with community needs. Additionally, Benchmark has been working with the Department of Education to deliver public and special school sites, further enhancing the project’s community value.
Currently in the development approval phase, the project is expected to receive final council approvals by early 2025. Benchmark’s commitment to high-quality, sustainable development ensures that 49 Taylors Road will stand as a model of thoughtful urban design and community-building.
