Excerpts from 2005 Ipswich Chamber of Commerce Year in Review: Ipswich abounds with available residential land & opportunities for growing industry development precincts to provide an alternative to coastal living that is within close proximity to major markets. With ongoing strategic planning and infrastructure support, this region has the capacity to offer alternatives that can address the issues identified in the SEQ2021 regional plan. Ipswich is a great place to do business and offers:
•An ideal location;
•A terrific lifestyle;
•A skilled workforce;
•Commitment and support from all levels of government and importantly;
•Tremendous opportunities for your individual business need! Currently Ipswich has approximately 49,000 jobs, and by 2021 the population is expected to grow to 240,000 with 91,000 jobs. Recently Ipswich has welcomed major businesses including Capral Aluminium’s with Australia’s largest aluminium extrusion plant. Other major projects in the pipeline include Boulder Speciality Steel ($750m capital expenditure) and Swanbank paper plant ($1.2b). The Queensland Government has acquired land for the proposed Aerospace Park at Amberley. Design & development is underway and will involve expansion of various companies currently involved at the RAAF Base Amberley.
