Boasting impressive international and domestic airports on the coastline, Brisbane continually welcomes international and interstate visitors and new residents. Brisbane is ideally located in close proximity to the spectacular Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, which are both within easy driving distance. Well known for its idyllic climate, dynamic central business district and meandering river, Brisbane easily entices people to reside in this perfect place. Brisbane boasts an exceptional calibre of entertainment facilities and lifestyle precincts for residents. The Brisbane CBD, offering an active city life, is surrounded by peaceful family-orientated suburbs with established communities.

Complementing Brisbane’s vibrant lifestyle is a thriving and diversified local economy. Brisbane is a strong performer across the property, aviation, food and beverage, software development, life sciences and healthcare, logistics and distribution, creative, marine, mining and biotechnology industries. Brisbane currently benefits from a higher than average economic growth rate of almost 5 percent per year. Population growth, a low cost base and close proximity to Asia are fundamental to this achievement. A politically stable government and a low unemployment rate also complement this truly liveable city.

Where to live

Development of new residential communities is underway throughout Brisbane’s suburbs, delivering high quality living options from leading property developers. With its close proximity to the Brisbane CBD, established infrastructure, amenities and views, the well appointed suburb of Keperra is regarded as a highly desirable address. At Keperra, international property group Multiplex is setting premium standards of quality living with its innovative master planned community – Echelon, which is anticipated for release in 2008.
