Two master-planned developments by Azure are currently under construction in Augustine Heights and Brookwater. These projects form part of the developer’s broader pipeline, which includes 100 homes to be delivered across Ipswich in 2025, and a further 271 in 2026. Among those, the Augustine Heights and Brookwater sites will contribute a combined total of over 130 homes.
Housing Supply Grows with Ipswich Population

Community Demand and Local Sentiment
Azure Director Trent Kiernan said strong interest in both locations indicates high demand for quality housing in the Ipswich region. Sales Manager Allyce Kluver described Brookwater as a premium destination within Ipswich. She added that the region’s appeal is growing due to local economic growth, new job opportunities, and improved education offerings.
Future Outlook
Azure’s developments are part of broader efforts to address housing demand in southeast Queensland. The company intends to continue investing in the Ipswich area, which is expected to become a significant residential hub within the next decade.
