Bella Art Supplies

Brisbane and Ipswich get a new art supplies store!

Located in Springfield Lakes, Bella Art Supplies is ideally located for the burgeoning demand in the local area for art supplies.

Springfield Lakes, located about 22 klms east of Ipswich and about 30 klms south west of Brisbane is an ideal location for those located in the fast growing western corridor and from what we know, this area has not been serviced by an art supplies store up until this point in time.

Artists living in Indooroopilly can get to Springfield Lakes via the Western Freeway in about 20 minutes, and those living in the Centenary Suburbs, Jindalee, etc can get here in less time. Artists living as far away as Beaudesert, Jimboomba, Boonah to the south, and all of the fast growing areas surround Springfield Lakes no longer need to drive into Brisbane or Ipswich to collect their art supplies. See map below for location.

Bella Art Supplies, servicing Brisbane and South-East Queensland

Located in a small shopping precinct (Spring Lake Metro) with easy access and store front parking, it couldn’t be easier to get what you need. In fact, Bella Art Supplies will even deliver larger orders to you.

Bella Art Supplies also runs an online shopping site which has just been launched. This site has been design for those who can’t get to the shop, and offers attractive discounts. Visit www.bellaartsupplies.com.au.

Springfield Lakes is located in one of the fastest growing regions in Australia. Greater Springfield is Australia’s largest master-planned community and is part of the Western Corridor growth area encompassing the Western Suburbs of Brisbane and the City of Ipswich, and easily accessible from the Gold Coast via the Logan Motorway to the Centenary Hwy.

The Western Freeway/Centenary Hwy has been extended to Ipswich via Springfield to form a new major western arterial out of Brisbane, and to link Springfield and Ipswich to another master-planned city to be built in the Ripley Valley.

Springfield Lakes is easily accessible from Brisbane via the Western Freeway (Centenary Hwy), and from Ipswich via the newly constructed Centenary Hwy extension from Yamanto to Springfield. This places Bella Art Supplies store as an ideal location for the existing population of the area and to service future population growth.
