About Ripley
Ripley is a rapidly emerging suburb in the Ipswich region, located approximately 40 kilometres southwest of Brisbane CBD within the Western Growth Corridor. Part of the Ripley Valley Priority Development Area—one of Australia's largest urban growth zones—this master-planned community has transformed from semi-rural land into a thriving residential hub. The population has tripled in recent years to over 4,000 residents, with the broader development zone planned to eventually house 131,000 people across 48,750 dwellings.
Life in Ripley centres around young families and first-home buyers attracted by affordable housing and modern amenities. The suburb features 40 hectares of parkland, quality state schools from prep to Year 12, and the Ripley Town Centre anchored by Coles with medical facilities and specialty retail. A new Satellite Hospital enhances healthcare access, while easy connections to the Centenary and Ipswich motorways make Brisbane commutes practical. The area draws a multicultural mix of professionals and tradespeople seeking quality homes with genuine community spirit.
Ripley falls under postcode 4306 and is governed by Ipswich Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Ipswich electorate.
