Why Burpengary is appealing to new homebuyers

A true hidden gem, it is conveniently located just 45 minutes north of the bustling Brisbane CBD and south of the sandy beaches of the Sunshine Coast.

Situated at the heart of the Moreton Bay growth corridor, the suburb has been identified by the State Government as the perfect place for residential development due to its proximity to transport links, an abundance of established schools and capacity to accommodate growth.

Our new Sage community will soon take shape in the centre of Burpengary located on Hunt Road. Here are just some of the reasons why more homebuyers are finding Burpengary is the perfect place to live.

A big vision for a bright future

Burpengary will play a key role in planned growth for the Moreton Bay region over the coming years.

Sage forms part of the new Morayfield South Emerging Community Area earmarked for priority residential development by the State Government. This means home buyers are investing in a region bursting with opportunity, with plans already in the pipeline to deliver a raft of new infrastructure and developments to support growth:

• A  proposed $2.1 billion upgrade to the Gateway Motorway, Bruce Highway and Gympie Arterial Road to support population growth. Early planning and community consultation is underway, with a business case expected to be finalised by 2023.
• Nearby Caboolture West has been flagged to become a new city centre, with a host of business, employment, education and lifestyle opportunities
• The proposed new $20 million Burpengary East Shopping Centre, due to open in 2025
• A planned upgrade to Burpengary train station, including a new pedestrian footbridge with lift access, raised platforms and extended platform shelters
• Queensland Education is in the planning stages for a potential new state school at Burpengary East
• Cedar Woods will spend $5 million on local road improvements, with 75 per cent of the works to be delivered as part of the first stages of Sage

Hot property

Queensland Government statistics show that the Moreton Bay Regional Area recorded 4,515 land sales in 2020/2021, more than the Gold Coast, at 2,296 sales, and Brisbane, at 4,050 sales.

Driving this demand is the availability of new land in well-established areas like Burpengary. Strong demand is already resulting in steady price growth for savvy home buyers who have been quick to get in on the ground floor of this growth region.

A place to be active and healthy amongst nature

Sports-mad families can access an array of facilities including an AFL ground, Equestrian Club and fully-equipped Aquatic Centre within the neighbourhood. The nearby Narangba Sporting Complex and the impressive Morayfield Sport and Events Centre also boast an array of amenities for budding athletes.

Love living amongst the trees? Burpengary is also known for its leafy surrounds, with five local parks for residents to enjoy.

Sage will become a landmark for nature lovers, with a nine-hectare expanse of green space – equivalent to more than 30 per cent of the community - for everyone to enjoy. This will include a park, walkways to connect the community and an impressive 7.5 hectare ecological corridor, to be rehabilitated for local flora and fauna.
