• Mixed density residential and commercial development.
• 106-hectare site in a prime location in Maroochydore.
• End value of approximately $800 million.
• Expected to house 6,000 people.
• The development boasts a mix of architecturally inspiring lifestyle options, from versatile terrace allotments to prime waterfront home sites.
Scope of work:
James Brownsworth was involved in the formulation and approval of the original master plan for the Sunshine Cove development at Maroochydore.
He facilitated subdivision approvals for each of the 11 precincts in the estate and was responsible for the provision of town planning advice and delivery of all the required approvals for this expansive, mixed use project.
Innovations:
Pioneering the concept of small lot housing as an alternative mechanism of achieving medium density outcomes.
At the time the master plan was developed, small lot sizes were categorised by the local Council as those less than 600sqm, now a range of lots have been developed in the estate down to as small as 100sqm for urban terrace lots. Sunshine Cove is now a benchmark standard for small lot housing communities in Queensland.
The lake and parklands create a scenic backdrop for commercial, retail, showroom and offi ce space, fully integrated with community amenities and residential enclaves. Commercial precincts include local and national businesses creating local employment opportunities.
With more than 8 kilometres of boardwalk, pedestrian and bicycle pathways, the development will interconnect with the Maroochy River, Sunshine Plaza, Cotton Tree and the new Maroochydore CBD.
