Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast is one of Queensland’s strongest real estate markets, thanks to a massive $20 billion infrastructure pipeline of projects either completed, in the process or in planning phases. With a clear and progressive approach to sustainable economic growth, the Sunshine Coast economy and property market have both entered a new era of sustained growth.

Why Invest in the Sunshine Coast

Just three of the major infrastructure projects in the area include; the $347 million Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion that will connect the Sunshine Coast on an international scale. From 2020, the region will deliver Australia’s fastest telecommunications connection to Asia and the second fastest to the United States attracting global digital giants like Facebook, Google and Amazon. And the creation of a new $2.1 billion CBD in the heart of Maroochydore is expected to contribute more than $350 million to the region’s economy in the next five years and generate $5.9 billion in expenditure by 2040.

The scale and strength of the Sunshine Coast as a region is often underestimated. It is the 10th largest ‘significant urban area’ in the country, with economic and population growth that is outpacing other scale regions both as a percentage and in absolute terms.
