Over the next 25 years, the Jimboomba Level 2 Statistical Area’s population is expected to grow 4.6% per year, which is more than double ’s 25-year growth rate of 1.9% per year.

JIMBOOMBA Suburb Profile I 23 Industry & Employment Between 2006 and 2026, jobs created by billions of dollars’ worth of projects will trigger a massive employment growth of more than 120% in Jimboomba and surrounding suburbs. Approximately 10,000 to 20,000 new jobs will be introduced via projects like the Yarrabilba Estate, the Flagstone Estate and the redevelopment of the Jeta Gardens Retirement and Aged Care Resort in Bethania. In 2011, the Jimboomba area and Logan City’s top industry by employment was manufacturing. Logan City’s gross regional product (GRP) was $9.56 billion in 2014, which was 3.36% of Queensland’s gross state product (GSP). It’s expected that the GRP will increase significantly over the next 30 years, because of the growth of the Yarrabilba and Flagstone communities.
