Quick answer: The largest new house and land estates around Brisbane are in the growth corridors of Logan, Ipswich and Moreton Bay, inside state Priority Development Areas planned for tens of thousands of homes. In early October 2026, land in the big estates was advertised from about $446,000 to $549,000. In the June quarter 2026, the median rent for a new lease on a four-bedroom house was $690 a week in Logan, $650 in Ipswich and $700 in Moreton Bay (RTA). Before you sign, check three things: how much new supply is coming, what the land and build are worth separately, and whether a commission is built into the price.

Where Are House and Land Packages Around Brisbane?
Large greenfield estates need large parcels of land, and around Brisbane most of that land is in four state-declared Priority Development Areas (PDAs), run by Economic Development Queensland (EDQ). Packages advertised as “Brisbane” are often in one of these.
| Growth area | Council area | Planned homes (EDQ) | Our guides |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greater Flagstone PDA | Logan | About 51,500 dwellings over 30–40 years | Flagstone, Everleigh, Flourish and Kindira |
| Ripley Valley PDA | Ipswich | Up to 48,750 dwellings for 131,000 people | Ripley, Providence |
| Waraba PDA | Moreton Bay | About 25,000 homes over about 40 years | Caboolture, Lilywood Landings |
| Yarrabilba PDA | Logan | Up to 20,000 dwellings over 20–30 years | Yarrabilba |
Outside the PDAs, other large estates include Springfield Rise (Ipswich), Kinma Valley (Morayfield) and the estates in our Ipswich guide.
Why this matters: a PDA planned for 50,000 homes will keep releasing new houses for decades. Your rental competes with brand-new stock for years, and so does your resale. That isn’t a reason to avoid these areas, but it should shape the price you pay.
How Much Is Land in Brisbane’s Growth Corridors?
These are the lowest advertised land prices we found on each developer’s own website when we wrote our estate guides. Prices change weekly and the cheapest lots are usually the smallest, so check the source.
| Estate (developer) | Area | Land advertised from | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flagstone (Peet) | Logan | $446,000 for 375m² | 6 Oct 2026 |
| Kinma Valley (Stockland) | Moreton Bay | $460,000 | 7 Oct 2026 |
| Everleigh (Mirvac) | Logan | $465,000 for 300m² | 7 Oct 2026 |
| Providence (Stockland) | Ipswich | $499,900 | 7 Oct 2026 |
| Hayfield | Ipswich | $520,000 | 6 Oct 2026 |
| Central Springs | Moreton Bay | $549,000 for 375m² | September 2026 |
Add the build. A package is two prices, land and construction, under two contracts. The build price depends on the design, site costs and inclusions, so compare the land against recent titled sales in the same estate and the build against the builder’s own price list.
What Do Houses Rent For Around Brisbane?
The Residential Tenancies Authority publishes the median weekly rent for new leases each quarter, based on bonds lodged. These figures cover all houses, old and new, so a new build may rent above or below them.
| Council area | 3-bed house, Jun qtr 2025 | 3-bed house, Jun qtr 2026 | 4-bed house, Jun qtr 2025 | 4-bed house, Jun qtr 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brisbane City | $675 | $720 | $800 | $850 |
| Redland | $620 | $680 | $765 | $800 |
| Moreton Bay | $590 | $630 | $670 | $700 |
| Logan | $560 | $600 | $650 | $690 |
| Ipswich | $520 | $580 | $620 | $650 |
Source: RTA median rents quarterly data, local government area tables, June quarter 2026 release. Past rent changes don’t predict future ones.
A quick test: weekly rent × 52 ÷ total package price = gross yield. For example, $650 a week is $33,800 a year, which is 4.3% on a $780,000 package before rates, insurance, management and maintenance. Use the median for your council area and house size, then ask a local property manager for a rental appraisal on the exact home.
How Are Brisbane House and Land Packages Sold?
Most investors meet these packages through a marketer, a “property investment” firm or a seminar, not through the developer. Many of those sellers are paid by the builder or developer when you buy. Consumer Affairs Victoria warns that a promoter “may be receiving a commission for promoting the development” (Consumer Affairs Victoria).
That commission is usually part of the price you pay. It can run into tens of thousands of dollars on one package, and it isn’t always shown to the buyer. Ask in writing who is paid, by whom and how much. Our builder commissions guide explains how this works.
Other things that are common around Brisbane:
- Untitled land. Many lots are sold before the estate stage is titled. Your land deposit can sit for months, and finance approvals can expire if title slips. See our deposit guide.
- Two contracts, two settlements. You settle the land first, then pay the builder in stages. Our package costs guide covers stamp duty and conveyancing on both.
- Display-home pricing. Display homes show upgraded inclusions. Compare the package inclusions list line by line. Our Brisbane display homes guide lists the villages.
What to Check Before You Sign
- Flood and overlays. Brisbane City Council’s FloodWise Property Report “shows the risk and type of flooding at a property” (Brisbane City Council). Logan, Ipswich and Moreton Bay publish their own flood mapping. Our area guides link to each one.
- The builder. Search the builder on the QBCC licensee register, and confirm home warranty insurance will be in place before work starts. Our home warranty insurance guide explains the Queensland cover.
- Supply. Ask how many lots remain in the estate, and how many more are planned within a few kilometres.
- The land price. Ask for recent titled land sales in the same stage, not the estate’s launch prices.
- The build price. Ask what’s excluded: site costs, driveway, fencing, landscaping, window coverings and flooring.
- The commission. Ask who is being paid on this sale, and how much.
- The tax rules. From 1 July 2027, negative gearing is generally limited to new builds. Later buyers of your property may not get it. See negative gearing on new builds.
Not sure the numbers stack up?
Send us the package. We’ll compare the land with recent sales, check the build inclusions and tell you if a commission is built in.

Common Questions About House and Land Packages in Brisbane
Where are the cheapest house and land packages near Brisbane?
Advertised land prices in early October 2026 were lowest in the large Logan and Moreton Bay estates, from about $446,000 at Flagstone and $460,000 at Kinma Valley. A cheap lot isn’t a cheap package if the build price or the commission is high, so compare the total.
Which areas near Brisbane have the biggest house and land estates?
The four Priority Development Areas: Greater Flagstone and Yarrabilba in Logan, Ripley Valley in Ipswich and Waraba in Moreton Bay. EDQ plans each one for between 20,000 and 51,500 homes.
What rent does a new four-bedroom house get around Brisbane?
The RTA’s June quarter 2026 median for a new lease on any four-bedroom house was $690 a week in Logan, $650 in Ipswich, $700 in Moreton Bay and $850 in Brisbane City. Get a rental appraisal for the exact home.
Can you negotiate a house and land package in Brisbane?
In our experience, often yes. The land and the build are separate contracts, and both can have room on price or inclusions, especially on lots that have been listed for a while. A commission built into the price also shows there is margin in it.
Do investors still get negative gearing on new builds in Queensland?
Under tax changes that are now law, from 1 July 2027 negative gearing on residential property is generally limited to new builds (ATO). Get tax advice for your own situation.
