Message From The Mayor

We are entering an exciting time where a number of great things are happening that will position Ipswich Central as the destination of choice in South-East Queensland for shopping, recreation, leisure and business.

It is no surprise that Ipswich is an attractive destination for residents and visitors alike. This year Ipswich was officially recognised by the International Awards for Liveable Communities for being the world's most liveable mid-sized city. In addition Ipswich was also a finalist in the 2007 Tourism Queensland Friendliest Town Award and South East Queensland Regional Winner of the 2007 Tourism Queensland Friendliest Town Award.

Ipswich Central is the busy hub of South East Queensland's top growth centre. The true vibrancy of the city is reflected in its range and quality of offerings for residents and visitors and its unpretentious, village-style ambience.

Our thriving city centre boasts:

open air malls and air conditioned shopping centres;
parking convenience;
restaurants, cafes and bars;
cinemas;
expansive parklands and waterways;
a cultural precinct including Civic Hall, Ipswich Art Gallery, Ipswich Library;
one of the finest collections of early colonial architecture in Queensland;
Ipswich City Council;
many government, health and medical services; and
access to major public transport networks.

Within four square walkable kilometres you will find shopping centres, art galleries, live performance centres, contemporary restaurants and cafes, heritage trails, expansive city parks and accommodation options to suit every style and budget. And if you need advice about what to do and where to find it, the Ipswich Visitor Information Centre can help. Call 07 3281 0555 or visit Discover Ipswich website

Enjoy all that Ipswich Central (and beyond) offers, and the warmth and hospitality of our people.
