Burpengary East Archives | North Harbour

1 – Queensland is beautiful

Like, really, really beautiful. We have some of the most stunning beaches in the world as well as an array of beautiful coastal spots to visit from the multiple islands of Moreton Bay (a hop skip and a jump from Brisbane), Fraser Island, the Gold Coast to the Whitsunday Islands, right up to the stunning Daintree Rainforest at the tip where the forest meets the sea. We’ve also got The Great Barrier Reef, the largest living thing on Earth, which you can even see from outer space!

We’ve got mountains, riverside and outback country so beautiful it’ll bring out your inner poet and more lakes than you can shake a stick at. (You know, if stick shaking is your thing.)

North Harbour is located in the Moreton Bay Region, close to the beaches of the Sunshine Coast and the mountains of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Caloundra, Mooloolaba, Noosa and Coolum are an easy drive away and, thanks to our lovely warm climate, you can be in the great outdoors pretty much any month of the year. Which brings me to…

2 – Our weather is fabulous!

Beautiful one day, perfect the next. This famous quote from Queensland Tourism sure hits the nail on the head. Southeast Queensland is where the majority of the population reside and is one of the most popular destinations for people moving to Queensland, as we get some of the best weather in Australia.

The north Brisbane area where North Harbour is located (35 mins from the Sunshine Coast and 45 mins from the Brisbane CBD) experiences warm pleasant summers with the average daily maximum temperature around 28 degrees Celsius and the average daily minimum temperature around 20 degrees Celsius. Our winters are only slightly cooler with the average daily maximum temperature around 20 degrees Celsius while the average daily minimum temperature drops to around 9 degrees Celsius. We enjoy a subtropical climate, with warm or hot weather for most of the year. December has the longest hours of daylight with sunrise at around 4:50am and sunset at 6:40pm. June has the least hours of daylight with sunrise at approximately 6:30am and sunset at 5pm. We do it tough, one year I had to wear an actual coat. True story.

3 – Queenslanders are relaxed and friendly

As perfect as our state is for holidays, it’s just as good to live here year-round and as a rule we’re pretty happy with our lot. We get to wear shorts and flip flops most of the year and BBQ like bosses. When the temperature dips below 20 degrees Celsius we’re freezing but will still happily sit outdoors by a fire pit with beer in hand, counting both our lucky as well as actual stars.

4 – So much to do!

For example, Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane is a vibrant and friendly city with something for everyone. There are schools and universities with great education systems, plenty of business centres and places to work, shopping centres, an affordable housing market, and a range of things to see and do from the cultural centre at Southbank to the historical areas and Botanic Gardens along the river. You will never be bored living here. If you do there are 50,000 other places in Queensland to explore.

5 – Queensland is affordable

If you’re considering moving to Queensland, chances are it is because you’ve been priced out of the market in your current location. Homes for sale in North Brisbane can vary in affordability with North Harbour’s suburb of Burpengary East remaining affordable whilst in easy commuting distance. In the brand-new master planned development at North Harbour you can get a brand-new home with our house and land packages from $400,000, the average price is $480,000 – and you’re never further than 325m from open space or parks. More space, better amenities and a great place to live for less money.

Burpengary East is part of the beautiful Moreton Bay region, located in the northern corridor between the world-famous Sunshine Coast and the bustling state capital of Brisbane. At just 35 minutes from the Sunshine Coast we’re nice and close to the beach, as well as being close to Brisbane at 45 minutes from the CBD and approximately 45 minutes from Brisbane airport.

We boast our own shopping and medical complex, “The HUB”, which includes a bakery, fish and chips, bottle-o, butcher, pizza and pasta takeaway, childcare centre, spice shop, hair salon and beautician, IGA, dentist, chemist, accountant, naturopath and medical centre which is just under five minutes’ drive from North Harbour.

We’ve also just welcomed a brand-new 7-11 service station and a new child care centre and North Harbour itself has a new café onsite offering breakfast and lunch seven days a week.

Five minutes’ drive from The Hub is Burpengary which is home to two shopping centres, The Burpengary Plaza and Burpengary Central. Burpengary is a growing town which retains a comfortable country feel with library, community centre and a thriving high street, yet has all the major supermarkets available as well as a brand-new Kmart and heaps of local shops, gyms and other amenities. A host of new restaurants have also opened recently adding to the already plentiful local eatery choices including Basil & Vine Italian, The Burrito Bar, Thai and Sushi among the plentiful options on offer. YUM!

North Harbour itself offers amenities which are truly 21st-century with access to the fastest residential broadband connection in Australia and reticulated natural gas to every home.

We differ from similarly sized southeast Queensland developments in that on completion we will offer a huge 1000 acres of open space and parklands (even larger than Central Park in New York) including environmental corridors, river access and a unique $3m Heritage Park with fishing platforms and canoe launches (currently under construction). This 1000 acres will include walking and bike tracks, lots of trees (over 60,000 have already been planted) and plenty of play equipment for young and older kids, BBQs, artworks and picnic areas as well as exercise equipment.
