I would highly recommend Michael for any accounting needs. He was extremely helpful and very prompt in his response time. He helped me out with my personal tax return and also with more complex questions I had regarding the share match scheme my employer offers. I will definitely be returning for all of my tax needs in future.

Rebecca Franklin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Recently moved my business over to Michael at Skyways Accountants. He was very receptive to taking on a new client and worked well with my outgoing accountant to move all preexisting information across. He was very responsive to my questions and getting the return completed to meet an ATO deadline. Would definately recommend Skyways Accountants for all your accounting needs.

Recently engaged Michael to help with my video production sole trading business. Definitely would engage Skyways again, as he is super responsive and was quick to help file my taxes. In terms of pricing he is upfront and gives a flat quote (no surprises!) for his services. Honestly I feel like I am getting a lot more than I paid for. Thanks Skyways for the top notch service!

  • What are 7 reasons New Chum 4303 a great place to run a business?

    New Chum 4303, a small but strategically positioned suburb in the Ipswich region of Queensland, offers unique advantages for industrial and commercial enterprises. Here are 7 key reasons why it’s a smart place to run a business:


    1. Zoned for Heavy and Light Industry

    New Chum is primarily zoned for industrial use, which makes it ideal for:

    * Manufacturing

    * Recycling and resource recovery

    * Construction supply and civil engineering firms

    It’s part of the Swanbank/New Chum industrial corridor, recognised by Ipswich City Council as a major employment and industrial growth area.


    2. Proximity to Major Transport Arteries

    Located near the Ipswich Motorway (M7) and Cunningham Highway (A15), New Chum offers exceptional logistics advantages:

    * Direct freight access to Ipswich, Brisbane, and the Port of Brisbane.

    * Efficient connectivity for large vehicles, B-doubles, and haulage fleets.

    This is especially valuable for businesses needing fast distribution or regional access.


    3. Access to the Swanbank Business and Energy Precinct

    New Chum is adjacent to the Swanbank Industrial and Energy Precinct, home to:

    * Resource recovery operations

    * Energy production facilities

    * Advanced waste management

    Businesses in related fields (e.g., clean energy, recycling tech, or support services) benefit from co-location, contracts, and supplier partnerships.


    4. Industrial Land Availability and Scalability

    Unlike more densely developed suburbs, New Chum has:

    * Room for expansion, with large lots and fewer constraints.

    * Fewer residential restrictions — giving businesses freedom to operate 24/7 or use heavy equipment.

    * Opportunities for custom-built facilities, especially in construction, mining support, or energy sectors.


    5. Workforce Access from Surrounding Suburbs

    Though New Chum itself has a small residential population, it is surrounded by:

    * Redbank Plains, Goodna, Collingwood Park, and Springfield

    * These areas provide a ready workforce — both skilled trades and general labour.

    This makes staffing more accessible without requiring expensive inner-city recruitment.


    6. Supportive Council and Industrial Policy

    Ipswich City Council’s strategic plan identifies New Chum as part of its:

    * Industrial diversification and economic development agenda.

    * Sustainability and circular economy initiatives, particularly with the Swanbank Renewable Energy Industrial Precinct.

    This creates long-term policy support for eco-industrial businesses and innovators.


    7. Competitive Land and Operating Costs

    Compared to similar industrial precincts in Brisbane’s north and west:

    * Land and lease costs in New Chum are more affordable.

    * Operating costs (utilities, rates, insurance) are lower, increasing profit margins.

    * Businesses can maximise land use for machinery, vehicle storage, or future growth.

    This cost advantage is a major incentive for relocating or launching industrial ventures in the area.


    Summary: New Chum is a hidden gem for industrial and trade-based businesses, offering infrastructure, accessibility, policy support, and affordability — without the headaches of residential zoning. Whether you're in recycling, energy, construction, or logistics, it’s a powerful base for long-term business operations.
