Major companies such as Australia Post are choosing Ipswich, boosting the local economy.
If Springfield to Ipswich is to make the most of opportunities headed its way through massive population growth, the creation of local jobs will need to remain an equal priority. The State Government forecasts that by 2041 the total number of jobs will need to be at least 128,800. In 2018, the number of jobs was 76,917 with the health care and social assistance, retail trade and manufacturing sectors employing the most people.
Where will future jobs come from?
A range of factors such as increasing global connectedness, increasing resource depletion, increasing mobility of people and the workforce and changing technology mean the city’s employment opportunities are changing.

“North Ipswich Reserve is the premier sporting facility within the City of Ipswich. Council has been investigating the upgrade of North Ipswich Reserve since 2000. The stadium upgrade can bring great social and economic benefits to the City of Ipswich. It is proposed that the stadium upgrade will allow entry of Ipswich based soccer and rugby league teams into the national competitions,” the report said.
