About Ringwood

Ringwood is a small rural locality in Queensland's Lockyer Valley, positioned approximately 70 kilometres west of Brisbane within the Lockyer Valley Regional Council area. With a population of just 57 at the 2021 census, the locality spans nearly 18 square kilometres of fertile agricultural land, lying between Gatton and Ipswich on the edge of the Great Dividing Range foothills.

The small community accesses services through Gatton, the main regional centre about 15 kilometres away. Life here is quiet and rural, appealing to farming families who value open space, fresh produce, and a close-knit country atmosphere within an hour of Brisbane.
