Rare Coastal Development Opportunity in Heart of Mooloolaba

An exceptional opportunity has arisen to acquire one of Mooloolaba’s most premium development landholdings—a rare and tightly held beachside site in the heart of Queensland’s iconic Sunshine Coast.

Located at 13–15 Brisbane Road, Mooloolaba, this site offers developers the chance to deliver a mixed-use, residential-led project within one of Australia’s fastest-growing coastal corridors.

The site is zoned District Centre and under the recently released Sunshine Coast Town Plan, has now been formally approved for a building height allowance of 41m, up from the previous 18 metres.

Future-proofed development site

Zoned for up to 18m under the current Sunshine Coast Town Plan, the site is expected to benefit further from the forthcoming Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme.

Positioned directly opposite the new 13-storey Avani hotel (see image above) and just 170 steps from the Mooloolaba Esplanade and beach, the location is unrivalled for lifestyle, amenity and walkable urban living.

Importantly, Sunshine Coast Council is investing $13.3 million into the revitalisation of the Mooloolaba foreshore—setting the stage for future residents to enjoy the very best in coastal living.

Site overview

• Total Site Area: 1214sq m across two titles

• Zoning: District Centre (current height limit: 18m)

• Planning: Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme under review—draft expected July 2025

• Holding Income: $329,500 net a year

• Tenure: 100 per cent freehold interest

• Sale Method: Expressions of interest closing 2pm (AEST), Friday, August 29, 2025

Design and development considerations

Preliminary assessments support a mixed-use development with a strong focus on high-end residential, ideally suited to downsizers, lifestyle buyers and high-net-worth individuals.

With limited to no new apartment stock currently available in Mooloolaba, the opportunity exists to capture strong demand, low vacancy rates and minimal competition.

As the Sunshine Coast tracks towards a population of 500,000 by 2041—with an average of 8000 new residents relocating annually—this site is positioned at the epicentre of residential demand within an undersupplied market.

Coastal luxury meets urban convenience

Ideally located just a short stroll from Mooloolaba Beach, SEA LIFE Aquarium, The Wharf precinct, and the Coast’s premier cafe and dining scene, this address offers future residents an exceptional coastal lifestyle in one of Australia’s most desirable beachside destinations.
