Alex W ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

Luke Kruusmaa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After being with my previous accountant for 11 years it was time for a change and what a breath of fresh of air, I find Michael super easy to deal with really down to earth. He cuts out the rubbish while also being super professional. Highly recommended.

Kelvin Chua ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 Swanbank 4306 a great place to run a business?

    Swanbank (postcode 4306), located in the Ipswich region of Queensland, is a strategic industrial powerhouse rather than a typical residential suburb. Known for its energy production, waste management, and industrial zoning, Swanbank is an ideal location for certain types of commercial and industrial operations. Here are 7 powerful reasons why Swanbank is a great place to run a business:


    1. Heavy Industrial Zoning and Infrastructure

    Swanbank is one of the few suburbs in the region zoned specifically for heavy industry. This makes it ideal for:

    * Manufacturing and processing operations

    * Waste management and recycling businesses

    * Logistics hubs and large-scale storage operations
The zoning allows businesses to operate with fewer restrictions than in mixed-use or residential suburbs.


    2. Proximity to Major Highways and Freight Rail

    Swanbank is served by both the Ipswich Motorway and Warrego Highway, and is near the Swanbank Rail Spur, offering:

    * Direct access to Brisbane, Toowoomba, and the Port of Brisbane

    * Efficient logistics and freight movement

    * Ideal conditions for transport, import/export, and warehousing businesses


    3. Home to Energy and Resource Facilities

    The suburb is anchored by the Swanbank Power Stations (A & E), waste treatment facilities, and recycling centres, creating a hub of:

    * Industrial synergy for energy-adjacent ventures

    * Opportunities in energy tech, sustainable manufacturing, and resource recovery

    * Potential for collaboration and contracts with established infrastructure operators


    4. Large Tracts of Available Industrial Land

    Swanbank features expansive industrial land suitable for:

    * New factories or warehousing development

    * Equipment yards and truck depots

    * Custom-designed facilities with future expansion in mind
This is a rare offering near major cities, especially at lower cost per hectare than in inner Brisbane.


    5. Part of Ipswich’s Regional Economic Development Plan

    Swanbank is designated in Ipswich City Council’s long-term Economic and Employment Lands Strategy, meaning:

    * Government support for business attraction and investment

    * Potential access to grants and infrastructure partnerships

    * Long-term security for industry-friendly regulations and zoning


    6. Limited Residential Proximity = Lower NIMBY Risk

    With few nearby residents, Swanbank allows:

    * Higher-impact operations (e.g., noise, emissions, or 24/7 activity) without residential complaints

    * Greater flexibility for operating hours and expansion plans

    * Reduced public opposition when applying for development or environmental approvals


    7. Sustainability and Circular Economy Growth Potential

    With Ipswich emerging as a hub for green and circular economy industries, Swanbank is a prime site for:

    * Renewable energy ventures

    * Waste-to-energy and bioenergy projects

    * Innovation in sustainable materials and environmental engineering
