Three new South East Queensland communities will be created after the endorsement of urban development areas (UDA).
The communities will have the potential to deliver up to 120,000 new homes.
The communities will be created at Ripley Valley, Greater Flagstone and Yarrabilba, which represent 15 per cent of the housing demanded needed in the south east corner over the next two decades.
The UDAs for the communities located in the western and south western growth corridors are the latest of nine new planned communities announced.
"Early release precincts have been identified within each of these three planned communities for up to 2,400 dwellings and development may commence within the next 12 months, particularly within the Ripley Valley," says Anna Bligh, Premier of Queensland.
"The provision of early public transport services is crucial in these areas so an interim infrastructure program is being devised to ensure that these early release precincts have the appropriate infrastructure.
"Further work will be undertaken through the planning process to make sure that future infrastructure requirements can be met as these new communities continue to grow."
The Ripley Valley UDA covers an area of around 4,680 hectares adjacent to existing urban development in the southern outskirts of the Ipswich area, around 6 km from the Ipswich CBD.
The 7,188 hectares Flagstone UDA is dominated by rural and rural-residential development and is around 40 km from the Brisbane CBD.
The Yarrabilba UDA covers around 2,222 hectares around 45 km south of the Brisbane CBD.
Following the declarations, the ULDA has 12 months to prepare development schemes for the areas. A significant community consultation program will be undertaken as part of the preparation of these schemes.
