PRD Enters Gympie as $20.6 Billion Investment Pipeline Fuels Regional Growth.

PRD has expanded into the Gympie region, bringing together the strength of a nationally recognised real estate network and the local expertise of commercial property specialist Simon Linnane.

Led by Simon, PRD Gympie combines national resources, research and marketing capability with the community connections and market knowledge that have helped shape the region's ongoing growth.

PRD Gympie launches at a time when the area is experiencing strong demand across both residential and commercial property sectors, with major infrastructure investment, population growth and increasing business migration driving market activity. Recent PRD Research data shows Gympie recorded a median house price of $792,500 in Q2 2026, representing annual growth of 6.0%, while approximately $20.6 billion in new developments are scheduled to commence construction across the region during 2026.

According to Simon, the decision to bring PRD to Gympie was driven by the region's unique position as a thriving economic hub with significant long-term potential.

"Gympie is a region on the move. From its rich heritage to its rapidly diversifying economy, the energy here is undeniable," he said.

"As someone who has grown up here and lived and breathed commercial real estate over the past three years, watching this region grow has been incredibly rewarding. Bringing a powerhouse brand like PRD, with the backing of Colliers International, to Gympie isn't just about putting a new sign on the door. It's about combining a massive national network with the deeply rooted, on-the-ground local knowledge that clients deserve."

PRD Research identifies the $18.4 billion Borumba Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Project as one of the most significant infrastructure investments currently planned for the region, reinforcing Gympie's growing importance as an economic and employment hub within South East Queensland.

Unlike many agencies that focus on either residential or commercial property, PRD Gympie offers expertise across both sectors under a single brand.

"What truly sets PRD Gympie apart is our ability to deliver a genuine dual-sector advantage," said Simon.

"PRD has monumental brand strength across both residential and commercial property. Through our residential offering, clients gain access to data-driven strategy, marketing reach and local service, while our commercial division benefits from institutional-grade research and industry connections through Colliers International. By bridging these two spaces under one roof, we're able to provide an all-encompassing real estate ecosystem backed by corporate-level capability and grassroots local knowledge."

Beyond property transactions, Simon said supporting the local community will be central to the business's long-term vision.

"Success isn't just about property transactions; it's about the broader prosperity of the region we call home," he said. "When we secure a lease for a new business or help a local enterprise expand into a larger warehouse, we're helping create jobs and keeping economic growth right here in Gympie. We also want PRD Gympie to be an active corporate citizen. We look forward to supporting local clubs, schools and community initiatives because we aren't just opening an office here—we are investing in Gympie's future."

As part of the broader PRD network, local clients will benefit from dedicated research on a national and local scale.

”PRD’s national network allows us to arm our clients with institutional-grade research and economic forecasting. We can show local clients exactly where the market is moving before it happens. Essentially, our national strength means Gympie clients no longer have to look to Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast for premium real estate capability; they get world-class resources and maximum exposure right here at home."

The opening further strengthens PRD's national footprint while demonstrating the opportunities available to ambitious business owners seeking to align with a recognised franchise brand without losing their local identity.

PRD’s Managing Director Todd Hadley said the Gympie expansion reflects the brand's commitment to supporting entrepreneurial operators in high-growth regional markets.

"The success of our network comes from passionate local business owners who know their markets inside and out. Gympie is a standout example of a region with enormous potential, and Simon’s deep local knowledge, combined with the strength of the PRD brand, creates an exciting opportunity for clients and the broader community."
