Schools, Shops and Roads
- Schools: Ripley Valley State Primary and Secondary colleges opened in 2020 (Queensland Government). A new primary school at Northridge Road, White Rock opens in 2028 (Department of Education), and a new Ripley Valley secondary school opens in 2030 (Department of Education).
- Shops: Stockland says the Providence Town Centre is now open (Stockland).
- Roads: Lucas Drive opened in February 2024, which Stockland says unlocks more than 5,600 homes (Stockland). There is no rail; the Ipswich to Springfield corridor isn’t funded for construction (TMR).
Supply in the Ripley Valley
In July 2026 EDQ announced infrastructure agreements with Stockland unlocking 15,696 new homes in the Ripley Valley (EDQ). That pipeline is the main reason to be disciplined on price here.

The 2027 Tax Change
Under tax changes that are now law, from 1 July 2027 negative gearing on residential property is generally limited to new builds. Properties held at 7:30pm AEST on 12 May 2026 keep their existing treatment, and the 50% capital gains discount is being replaced with indexation and a minimum tax (ATO).
A new house and land package bought from 1 July 2027 can qualify as a new build. The catch is resale: the Government’s explainer says later buyers of that property won’t get negative gearing (Budget 2026–27 tax explainer). That may shrink the pool of investors who will buy it from you, so buy for rent and long-term value, not the tax treatment alone. More in our guide to negative gearing on new builds.

- What does the council flood and bushfire mapping show for this exact lot?
