Redland, Queensland
A suburb still being built by the tradies who live in it.
Thornlands is a residential suburb of 19,263 people on the bay side of Redland City, built for the school run and the daily commute rather than passing trade. Construction leads business counts across the Redland council area at 3,117, well ahead of any other industry, the trade that keeps this stretch of the bayside building new estates and renovating older ones. Household income here runs to $2,218 a week and the median age is 36, signs of a suburb full of working families with money to spend rather than retirees watching every dollar.
A landscaper working the new estates around Thornlands still gets most jobs through the builder network and a sign on the ute, and that's fine as far as it goes. But 35.3% of this suburb is under 25, and none of them are walking a display village looking for a business card. They're on the phone at nine at night, comparing three quotes before they've finished scrolling. The same goes for the electrician wiring the new builds, the physio treating tradies' backs, or the mortgage broker helping first home buyers into these estates: if the site doesn't load fast and answer the obvious question, the job goes to whoever's website did. A website that ranks and loads properly is the cheapest worker a Thornlands business will ever put on the payroll, and it takes calls at midnight too.
