Location
Polaris is located in Greater Springfield, 22 minute drive West from Brisbane’s CBD. It is accessible by all forms of major transport. It is also in easy reach of Amberly Airbase.
The building site is very low risk for geopolitical events or natural disasters, situated well above the 100 year floor level for the region, not in a flight path and outside Brisbane’s concentrated CBD. It remained physically accessible and 100% operational throughout Brisbane’s 2011, 2013 and 2022 floods.
Polaris is a key pillar in the future development of Greater Springfield and will be subject to continuous investment and best practice adoption.
