About Maroochydore

Maroochydore is the designated CBD of the Sunshine Coast, undergoing a massive transformation through the SunCentral Maroochydore development — a new city centre built from the ground up. The suburb combines beachfront living, established retail at Sunshine Plaza, and a burgeoning business district. The proposed mass transit system and Maroochydore's position as the region's administrative capital drive its importance.

Development Potential

Exceptionally high. SunCentral is one of Australia's most ambitious new city centre developments, supporting high-density mixed-use towers. The surrounding suburb offers medium-density infill potential. Beachfront sites are ultra-premium. The proposed mass transit will further catalyse development.

Key Zoning: Centre Zone (SunCentral PDA), High Density Residential, Mixed Use

Growth Drivers
