    Hello,

    I am a first home buyer. I want to research growth areas in Brisbane / Northern Suburbs. Am I correct in saying I should look for things such as "new roads been built" "new schools" "new hospitals" things that drive growth?

    where can I find this information? I found this…

    http://www.dip.qld.gov.au/resources/plan/SEQIPP/seqipp-greater-brisbane.pdf

    I was wondering if there are a common set of sites people use to research where to buy property.

    thanks,

    Ele.

    I want to add.. in a general sense its good to look at areas where you see major traffic arteries and as you mentioned, schools, hospitals, universities and other public facilities, shops etc… google maps is good for a birds eye view. New infrastructure is always a point of interest and then you can always find out where infrastructure is planned for the future, speak to local council town planning. Find out also where large companies like Coles, Woollies and Bunnings are planning to develop. Hope this helps.

    Hi Ele

    Firstly welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy your time with us.

    How far North are you looking at ?

    I have some excellent Real Estate contacts on the Northside of Brisbane so let us know and I can give you their details. You are more than welcome to give them a ring and pick their brains about the areas.

    Most of them have been around for donkeys so not a matter of trying to get you on paper as quickly as they can.

    Cheers

    Thank you for the information everyone. I am looking on the northside, around Strathpine, Kallangur, Chermside, Carseldine, Narrangba etc…

    however i am not picky, if someone knows of a really good 'growth area' i'd be happy for suggestions.
