CASE STUDIES OF SUCCESSFUL SUBURBAN EXPANSION
Introduction
In some urban planning circles, suburbs are viewed as inferior to inner urban areas for a host of reasons: from
economic, to environmental, to traffic/congestion, and cultural and social. New suburban development has been
pejoratively labelled “sprawl” and is widely regarded as a less desirable form of urban growth.
The Suburban Alliance believes an evidence-based assessment of new suburban communities will reveal that many
of these anti-suburban prejudices are not justified. We have chosen North Lakes and Springfield in the Brisbane
region as two case studies of new suburban development because they were both “masterplanned” suburban
communities which started from nothing, and both have had more than 20 years to develop and mature.
The Suburban Alliance engaged Macroplan to prepare an evidence based assessment of new suburban
communities in order to facilitate and inform discussion around urban and regional development, with North Lakes
and Greater Springfield chosen as case studies.
The report includes the following for each case study community:
• A review of the regional and local context of the areas, including a brief history of the community and masterplan
background;
• A review of the demographic profiles, based on the latest Census data;
• An overview of the residential property market profiles;
• A review of the employment profiles of each community;
• A review of commuting patterns for each community;
• A review of environmental and open space attributes for each community; and
• An overview of local services and amenity of each community.
“Suburbia is not a condition that needs to be cured. It is not an
ailment.
Indeed, in many respects, new suburban developments offer
enhanced quality of life, environmental and economic
outcomes to their residents.
A more balanced appreciation of the characteristics of new
suburban developments is what we hope to achieve via
research projects such as this.”
