Ripley is a fast-evolving suburb within the City of Ipswich, Queensland, around 7 km south of Ipswich CBD and about 42 km southwest of Brisbane.
Covering roughly 12.8 km², this master-planned community is part of the broader Ecco Ripley development, designed to eventually house some 120,000 people with 50,000 residences and 200,000 jobs in the western growth corridor.
Originally established in the mid-1800s on Yugarabul traditional land, Ripley began as a farming settlement. Its first school opened in 1874, though it closed in 1930 due to low enrolments.
From just 1,405 residents in 2016, Ripley’s population jumped to 4,288 by 2021—an astonishing rise, fueled by rapid housing developments and infrastructure projects
Ripley added more new residents than any other Queensland suburb in 2021–22, a 21 % increase
Key highlights of Ripley today:
Ripley Town Centre, opened in 2018, includes a supermarket, medical centre, gym, and ~20 specialty shops
Education: Ripley Central State School for primary students, with neighboring South Ripley offering secondary schooling.
Transport: Well-connected by bus (e.g., route 531) and the Centenary Highway; future rail extension under planning
Lifestyle: Family-oriented with modern parks, open spaces, shopping, and a recently opened satellite hospital—all supporting a young, growing community
Demographics & housing:
Median age is around 32; households are predominantly couples with children, owning homes with mortgages
The suburb offers affordable housing, a big draw for first-home buyers and investors. Median house prices are currently in the mid‑$700,000s, with strong rental yields of ~4.5 %
In summary, Ripley is swiftly transforming from a rural farming area into a modern, sustainable, and family-friendly urban enclave, anchored by a vibrant town centre, excellent schools, convenient transport, and a strong sense of community. If you're eyeing a suburb with fast-paced growth, solid infrastructure, and affordable property options, Ripley is certainly one to watch.
