Country Lifestyle, City Convenience
Locals enjoy the benefits of a rural lifestyle with the
reassurance of high quality infrastructure, medical
facilities, professional services, national brands and
shopping centres, public transport and nbn™. There are
also major cities on our doorstep, with Toowoomba only
60 minutes away and both Brisbane and the Gold Coast
around two hours away.
Health Services
The Southern Downs offers a range of health services and facilities. The region
enjoys outstanding medical facilities and practitioners, whether in Warwick
and Stanthorpe or within a short drive to nearby Toowoomba. The region is
serviced by large hospitals in both Warwick and Stanthorpe with additional
medical facilities, including general practitioners, allied health, x-ray services
and more, readily available with the availability and attention you would
expect from a close knit community.
Shopping
Boasting a vibrant and growing retail sector, the Southern Downs offers a
range of shopping options including exclusive shopfronts you won’t find
anywhere else. For those who prefer national brands, the region has the Rose
City Shoppingworld, a large modern shopping centre in Warwick, as well as
national retailers in Stanthorpe and Allora. From fashion to farm equipment –
the Southern Downs has it all.
National Parks
The Southern Downs is home to three of Queensland’s largest national parks

Cordeaux etc), Girraween and Sundown – all offering exhilarating experiences
in nature, with a range of walks to suit all fitness levels. Please note - check
