About Redbank Plains

Redbank Plains is one of Ipswich's fastest-growing suburbs, home to 24,500 residents 35 kilometres southwest of Brisbane. The suburb has transformed from semi-rural to a major residential area, with the future rail extension planned to improve connectivity. The Springfield extension provides relatively nearby rail access, while major roads link to Brisbane and Ipswich.

The suburb offers some of Southeast Queensland's most affordable housing, with new estates providing modern homes for families priced out of Brisbane. Schools and shopping have expanded rapidly to serve growth. Redbank Plains attracts first-home buyers, large families, and working families seeking house-and-land packages at accessible prices.

Redbank Plains falls under postcode 4301 and is governed by Ipswich Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Bundamba electorate.
