All information is drawn from publicly released government development plans, and it is sure to be of real help to anyone looking to undertake property development or property investment in Queensland in the future.

First, let's understand what a Priority Development Area (PDA) is.

Priority Development Areas (PDAs) are areas of Queensland identified for accelerated development. The Queensland Government and local councils work together with the private sector and the community to deliver faster planning, approval and development of projects within these areas, allowing new infrastructure to serve the community more quickly and easily — including housing, schools, parks, retail shops and commercial centres.

PDAs are designed to meet the needs of local business and community, and typically vary according to the size and location of the area, public transport, the local streetscape, the road network, infrastructure and the existing planning schemes within the area.

From the government's official website, we can see that Cross River Rail and Queen's Wharf are among Queensland's priority development projects. So, from this list, what other hidden-gem areas with low price points might we uncover?
