[edit] Ripley City Development

Ripley in its current form exists as a small community of under 1000 residents. The area is part of the Brisbane metropolitan western growth corridor project. The development is in response to the local and state governments solicitation for land releases to alleviate expected and forecasted population growth from the general population growth of the existing communities as well as growth from interstate and overseas migration. [3] [4]

Once the area is fully developed, Ripley is expected to have a population of 120,000 people with an estimated 50,000 residential dwellings. The city development will provide employment with 200,000 job positions estimated. The Ripley development takes advantage of the undeveloped suburbs and areas within the western growth corridor such as Amberley, Ebenezer, New Chum, Swanbank and Willowbank with suitable land for new business and industrial developments. [5]

The development is to be the country's largest pre-planned community.[6]
