As if buying a house at Highland Walloon wasn’t exciting enough! Now our homeowners have even more reasons to celebrate, with the nearby township of Thagoona selected as the site for a new neighbourhood shopping centre, designed to meet the needs of the growing western Ipswich corridor.
As the Bremer Valley region experiences strong residential growth, this planned centre will provide essential services and community spaces right on the doorstep of future Highland Walloon residents, helping to reduce travel times and make everyday life more convenient.
With plans for a major supermarket and specialty stores, medical centre, service station, tavern, fast food outlets and commercial spaces, the centre will complement existing retail services in Walloon and Rosewood.
Its central location midway between Walloon and Rosewood will provide convenient access to essential services for both existing residents and the many new arrivals to the region.
The broader masterplan also allows for a community centre and the potential inclusion of a primary school, further reinforcing the area as a central hub for families.
By providing these services locally, the Thagoona Neighbourhood Centre will reduce the need for residents to travel outside the corridor for everyday shopping while making a significant contribution to local employment, with an estimated 340 jobs once fully operational.
For residents of Highland Walloon, the benefits will be substantial. The proximity of the new town centre, just 4.5km away, will mean easier access to everyday essentials, greatly reducing the need for trips into Ipswich or other major centres for groceries, medical appointments, or dining out.
Importantly, the centre will also act as a social anchor, with landscaped public spaces and community facilities creating new places for residents to meet, connect, and participate in local programs or events.
To support the new centre, Ipswich City Council has already approved road upgrades, including improvements to Adelong Avenue, ensuring safe and convenient access. Flood-resilient design is also a key focus, ensuring the town centre remains a sustainable hub for years to come.
The Thagoona Neighbourhood Centre represents an exciting opportunity for Highland Walloon residents to enjoy modern, convenient services and a vibrant community heart within the western growth Corridor.
