  • Suburb Profile Yarrabilba Qld 4207
    SUBURB PROFILE YARRABILBA QLD 4207 YARRABILBA Suburb Profile I 1 Introducing… Yarrabilba Located in the Jimboomba area within the City of Logan, Yarrabilba is strategically positioned between the Brisbane CBD and the Gold Coast CBD. Just over 45 minutes north of Yarrabilba via the Pacific Highway is the Brisbane CBD, while less than an hour’s drive south via the Pacific Highway is Surfer’s Paradise on the Gold Coast. Its perfect position as ‘the heart of all,’ means Yarrabilba is a short, 24 minutes’ drive from favourite tourist destination, Tamborine Mountain and is a 30 minutes’ drive from world-famous theme parks. These include Dreamworld and Warner Brothers Movie World. Springfield Central, home to Queensland’s 9th largest shopping centre, is also a 30 minutes’ drive away via the Mount Lindesay Highway. In 2010, the Yarrabilba suburb, spanning 2,222 hectares, was declared a Priority Development Area (PDA). As a result, the Yarrabilba Estate master planned community was approved. Yarrabilba Estate’s development began in 2011, with a scheduled completion date of 2041 and an estimated end value of $11+ billion. Upon the estate’s completion, it’s anticipated that Yarrabilba will be home to more than 45,000 people and 17,000 residential dwellings. Yarrabilba Estate’s master plan dedicates approximately 25% of the estate to recreational areas and environmental corridors. In January 2014, Yarrabilba opened Darlington Parklands, which is a large, unique park near the entrance of the estate. It contains a free waterpark, with shallow pools and water fountains as well as playground equipment, forts, climbing walls and a 30m flying fox.

    PO BOX 557, BEAUDESERT Queensland 4285 www.laca.org.au 04 09 11 Dept of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities Dear Officer, RE: ENERGEX LOGANLEA TO JIMBOOMBA & MATTER OF NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE – SPOTTED TAIL QUOLL ( Logan City Council QLD) The Logan and Albert Conservation Association would like to bring to the Federal Government’s attention the current proposal by Energex to upgrade a 110 kV corridor from the suburbs of Loganlea to Jimboomba. The proposed corridor will include Logan Reserve Rd ( underground) to the Logan River ( 5 river crossings) , cross at Anzac Ave ( over Geoff Philip Bridge over the Logan River near Logan Village) and proceed south along Waterford – Tamborine Rd and then veer south-west to Camp Cable Rd and the west to be hooked up to the Jimboomba Substation. There is currently a corridor along Logan Reserve Rd, none along the Logan River, none along Waterfrod Tamborine Rd, and an existing 33 kV powerline to service local residents on the southern side of Camp Cable Rd east of the Jimboomba substation. See details on the proposal online on http://www.energex.com.au/building-and-maintaining-the-network/major- projects/loganlea-to-jimboomba-network-upgrade ( see attachments with this email for proposed Loganlea to Jimboomba Corridor Map 1 and Map 2) As part of this powerline corridor investigation, LACA has participated in the various community consultations to date that began in November 2008 with a Corridor Selection Report. The Final Assessment Report has been submitted to the Minister for Energy and Water Utilities in 2011 for consideration of the project, prior to designation and construction approval.
