A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold commercial property on the main street of Springsure —Most buyers see a regional Queensland town and stop reading. That’s fine. It’s also exactly why this opportunity exists.
Springsure sits at the junction of the Gregory and Dawson Highways in Central Queensland. Plus the Dawson Developmental Road (Springsure–Tambo) is a vital transport link in Central Queensland, spanning 245 kilometres across the Central Highlands Regional Council and Blackall–Tambo Regional Council areas. Construction to pave and seal the remaining section is scheduled to commence in late-2026, with completion expected by late-2027.
Springsure is a working town, serviced by coal, agriculture, and government, where the businesses that operate here do so because the region demands it, not because the rent is cheap in a soft market. The commercial vacancy rate across Springsure is 0.2%. That’s not a typo. In capital city terms, that’s a waiting list. Central Highlands Regional Council have just completed a $7.8 Million Dollar Aquatic Centre on Eclipse Street.
72 Eclipse Street is a 1,292 square metre freehold commercial building, steel portal frame, 9.6 metre workshop clearance at peak, dual street frontage onto Eclipse and Charles Streets, with lane access direct to the Dawson Highway. It sits on two freehold lots totalling 2,544 square metres and has served heavy commercial operators for decades. The building replacement value, per insurer assessment in December 2017, was $3,122,400. The asking price today is $650,000.
The location is priced into that figure. What the location also brings is a vacancy rate of 0.2%, a median rental yield of 7.4%, and year-on-year house price growth of 64.7%. These are not projections. They’re the current numbers for a town that most buyers have already ruled out.
