Two adjoining 759 m² freehold lots combine to create a substantial 1,518 m² development site in a tightly held riverside pocket of Maroochydore. The land is flat, accessible and efficiently shaped, offering strong design flexibility for a medium‑density apartment project.
Planning & Development Capacity
Under the current Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme (2014), the site supports medium‑density residential development with a maximum building height of 12 m.
Under the draft Maroochydore City Centre Planning Scheme (2025) — currently under Council review — the site is identified for uplift to:
Proposed maximum building height: up to 22 m (six storeys)
Proposed density allowance: up to 37.9 Equivalent Dwellings (ED)
Intended land use: higher‑density residential within an emerging urban renewal corridor
Strategic role: supports increased housing supply close to employment, transport and lifestyle infrastructure
Planning scheme update not yet in effect. Proposed parameters remain subject to formal adoption.
37.9 ED recognised under current Council density modelling (2025).
This planning framework positions the site for a well‑scaled apartment building with potential for a mix of one‑, two‑ and three‑bedroom configurations, subject to design and Council approval.
Location Advantages
Situated moments from the Maroochy River and within easy reach of the Maroochydore CBD, the site offers:
Walkable access to cafés, dining and the riverfront
Quick connectivity to Sunshine Plaza, Ocean Street and the new City Centre precinct
Proximity to beaches, public transport and major arterial routes
