The Maroochydore City Centre in the heart of the Sunshine Coast is the ideal location for companies seeking CBD offices in one of Australia's fastest growing regions.

Declared a Priority Development Area by the Queensland Government, the Maroochydore City Centre is expected to service a wider catchment of over two million people by 2030.

The new city centre will have state-of-the art technology providing digital solutions for street lighting, car parking, water, power and signage, and will be serviced by Australia’s first underground vacuum system for automated waste collection.

From 2020 it will also offer Australia’s fastest international data connection to Asia from the east coast via the new international broadband submarine cable connecting directly to the Maroochydore City Centre.

The new Maroochydore City Centre will create an energetic commercial and city lifestyle with night life, event venues, al fresco dining, boulevard shopping, urban recreation, community facilities and water’s edge experiences. 

Maroochydore City Centre will be serviced by frequent and reliable public transport, with a transit plaza providing direct access to business, retail, dining and residential precincts.

This unparalleled development represents a region coming of age, attracting a new wave of residents, businesses and skilled workers who enjoy having first class facilities on their doorstep.

Located just one hour from the Queensland capital, 10 minutes from Sunshine Coast International Airport and five minutes from world-class beaches, Maroochydore City Centre will feature:

• prime commercial office space
• high speed broadband internet
• exclusive retail
• fine dining
• entertainment facilities
• new waterways
• interconnected open space
• recreational spaces
• a premium hotel
• an entertainment, convention and exhibition centre.

The development scheme for the Maroochydore City Centre offers business and investors:

• 150,000m2 commercial gross floor area
• 65,000m2 retail gross floor area
• 4,000 residential apartments.
