Elimbah Enters $30-Million Infrastructure Phase as Acreage Market Holds Firm
Elimbah is entering a pivotal year, with more than $30 million in new water and sewer infrastructure scheduled to roll out from mid-March 2026 — a coordinated investment that aligns with continued activity at the upper end of the local property market.
Construction of the Elimbah Water and Sewerage Infrastructure Project is scheduled to commence on 13 March 2026 and will be delivered in stages over approximately 12 months. The works, led by developer Goldfields with Winslow Group as principal contractor, are designed to service future residential development bounded by Pumicestone Road, Clinker Road and the Bruce Highway.
This is trunk infrastructure: the foundational servicing required before large-scale residential expansion can occur.
Property Market Signals: Seven-Figure Acreage Transactions
Recent sales across Elimbah and neighbouring Caboolture show sustained activity in the seven-figure bracket, particularly for larger homes on acreage.
The standout local result was 42 PERIMA Road, Elimbah, which sold for $1,545,000, handled by Scott Lachmund. The acreage property offered a substantial family residence on a generous rural allotment, reflecting ongoing demand for lifestyle holdings within reach of major transport corridors and future servicing upgrades.
In adjacent Caboolture, 197 Old Gympie Road achieved $1,900,000, sold by Narelle Cordaro, while 38 Murrimbah Drive transacted at $1,850,000 through Adam Charlton. Both transactions reinforce buyer appetite for expansive dwellings on larger parcels across the northern fringe.
The clustering of multiple high-value sales during the same period infrastructure delivery is being formalised is notable, even if broader market conditions ultimately determine longer-term outcomes.

What Is Being Built And Where
Project notices distributed to residents outline a coordinated package of upgrades, including:
• A gravity sewer running south from the intersection of Pumicestone and McGarry Roads down McGarry Road
• A new pump station near McGarry Road and Old Toorbul Point Road
• A rising main running west from the pump station, under the Bruce Highway, along Flowers Road and then south down Pumicestone Road
• A barometric loop at the intersection of Pumicestone Road and Reserve Drive
• A new water main under Pumicestone Road between Clinker Road and Bigmor Drive
• An upgraded water main along Rudken Parade between Sunita Drive and Fairmount Street
Works will generally occur between 6:30am and 6:30pm Monday to Friday and 6:30am to 3:00pm Saturdays, weather permitting, with traffic control measures operating under an approved Traffic Management Plan overseen by the City of Moreton Bay.
Infrastructure and the Next Phase of Growth
The mid-March construction timeline aligns with broader preparation for major new housing in Elimbah. Reports earlier this year referenced a significant land transaction near Pumicestone Road and Clinker Road, with plans reported for a master-planned community of up to 1,400 homes.
While large-scale development unfolds over years rather than months, installed trunk infrastructure is a practical indicator that planning intent is progressing toward delivery. Water mains, pump stations and gravity sewers are prerequisites for sustained residential expansion.
With works expected to continue through to mid-2027, Elimbah will spend the next year in transition, retaining its semi-rural character while additional servicing capacity is put in place.
Infrastructure delivery does not predetermine price outcomes. However, suburbs typically enter a different planning phase once funded trunk services are under construction.
Elimbah now appears to be moving into that stage.
