Greater Springfield, also known as the Greater Springfield , is a private development undertaken by the Springfield City Group and one of the fastest growing developments in Australia - it is located in the south-west of the Brisbane metropolitan area in Queensland, Australia. It is the first privately built city in Australia and the country’s largest master planned community (tenth largest globally), encompassing 2,860 hectares (963 acres) designed to support population growth from Brisbane radiating out along the coastal strips from the Sunshine Coast down to the Gold Coast.

In 2013, the population of Greater Springfield was estimated around 30,000, with a projection to grow to 105,000 residents by 2030.[1] Community development is managed and coordinated by Springfield City Group.The plan is to have a group of suburbs with the population of Darwin by 2030.

History

Greater Springfield was founded in 1993.{{When|date = August 2015}} The land was originally purchased for A$7.9 million in 1992 by Maha Sinnathamby and Bob Sharpless. Sinnathamby and Sharpless assembled a team and developed Greater Springfield masterplan based on interconnected pillars of health, education and information technology.

The Local Government (Springfield Zoning) Act 1997 was gazette in view of the long term nature of development being undertaken across Greater Springfield. This Act gave rise to a unique Planning Regime which provides certainty to the developer. The Structure Plan established a unique assessment process that ensures the intentions, provisions and understanding in and behind the Springfield Structure Plan are not to be overreached or changed through Local Planning Policies so to adversely affect the development entitlements conferred by the Structure Plan. All levels of Government recognise that the achievement of this goal is essential to ensure the certainty of the development rights. From Springfield City Group's (SCG’s) viewpoint such certainty is essential to the future proofing of the project.
