    Caboolture West (Waraba) — 30,000-Home Growth Area

    Caboolture West / Waraba, ~3,156ha

    One of South-East Queensland's largest greenfield growth areas, at around 3,156 hectares. It is planned for roughly 30,000 new homes and 70,000 residents with about 17,000 jobs over the long term. The Waraba Priority Development Area was declared in August 2024, and the Interim Structure Plan fast-tracks assessment of 13,000 homes over 15 years.

    Investor note

    A committed, government-backed multi-decade growth pipeline on Caboolture's doorstep — a strong long-run population and infrastructure-investment signal. It is also a very large future housing supply: staged over ~40 years it supports demand for local retail, schools and services, while adding significant competing new stock over time.
