WHY GATTON & THE LOCKYER VALLEY?
For buyers looking beyond the major metropolitan centres, Gatton offers an increasingly compelling combination of established services, regional lifestyle and strategic location. The Lockyer Valley is a recognised growth region, with Council reporting that the population is projected to increase by approximately 24,000 people to around 67,000 by 2046. The regional economy is supported by major agricultural and manufacturing industries, while Gatton itself benefits from established education, healthcare, retail and employment infrastructure, including the University of Queensland Gatton Campus. Council's 2026–27 Budget also includes a $31.73 million capital program, with significant investment directed towards roads, bridges and drainage across the region.

For 60 Whittle Street, that broader regional appeal is strengthened by an exceptionally convenient local position. Gatton's CBD, local schools and Gatton Hospital are only minutes away, while the Warrego Highway provides straightforward connections throughout South East Queensland. Toowoomba is approximately 30 minutes away, while Brisbane is around 1 hour 15 minutes, allowing buyers to enjoy the space and lifestyle of the Lockyer Valley while remaining within practical reach of major employment, shopping and service centres.

CHARACTER RESTORED, WORK COMPLETED, LOCATION SECURED
60 Whittle Street is the kind of property that makes buying an established home particularly appealing: the character is already there, the renovations have brought it firmly into the present, and its elevated position adds an outlook that cannot simply be created later.

With three bedrooms, beautifully polished timber floors, a renovated kitchen and bathroom, new roof, solar, generous 741m² allotment, mountain views and excellent proximity to the heart of Gatton, it presents a versatile opportunity for first home buyers, downsizers and investors alike.

The work has been done. The character has been kept. Now all that's left is to make it yours.
