The Queensland Government has commenced an early review of the South East Queensland Regional Plan (ShapingSEQ 2023).

The review is currently in a scoping and early engagement phase, meaning the existing regional plan remains fully in force. At this stage, the focus is primarily on housing supply, employment and economic outcomes, with further work underway to inform a revised draft plan.

An early Have Your Say page is now live, allowing stakeholders to provide highโ€‘level, informal feedback to the State. Formal public consultation is not yet open, and no draft updated regional plan has been released at this time.

If you would like assistance preparing an informal submission, or would like to discuss whether this review may have implications for your land, development or strategic planning, please feel free to get in touch with our team.

Sunshine Coast Council has given the goโ€‘ahead for RCQโ€™s $250M mixedโ€‘use precinct in Bulcock Street, paving the way for three new towers that will introduce
๐Ÿ”น13 storeys
๐Ÿ”น74 residential apartments
๐Ÿ”น96 hotel and shortโ€‘stay suites
๐Ÿ”น groundโ€‘floor dining and retail
๐Ÿ”นpools, wellness areas, recreation spaces

Construction is anticipated to commence in early 2027.
This development marks a significant step toward reshaping the heart of Caloundra.

Plans highlight features such as landscaped open spaces, shared recreation areas and thoughtfully arranged towers that capture natural light, ventilation and views. Together, these elements encourage community con nection, active lifestyles and support the longโ€‘term evolution of Caloundra.

Exciting News for Maroochydore !!
Weโ€™re proud to announce that weโ€™ve successfully secured approval under a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation for the redevelopment of the Maroochydore Surf Lifesaving Club . This achievement was made possible through the collaborative efforts of our team, led by Cameron Adams, alongside our allied consultant Mark Wyer from Elm Development Collective and Brad Read BRD GROUP, as we guided the Surf Club committee through the formal approval process.
This milestone means the club can finally move forward with a much-needed upgrade. Parts of the existing building date back to the 1960s, and the last major renovation was over 20 years ago. The club has outgrown its space, and this redevelopment will deliver facilities that meet the growing needs of members and the wider community.
Key benefits of the project:
๐Ÿ”น Enhanced safety for beachgoers and nippers with modern lifesaving facilities
๐Ÿ”นImproved functionality and appearance of the clubhouse
๐Ÿ”น Better traffic flow by relocating the loading dock inside the building
๐Ÿ”น A stronger foundation for the supporters club, which funds vital lifesaving services
This isnโ€™t just a building upgrade! Itโ€™s an investment in community safety, the greater Surf Life Saving Queensland community and connection to our beautiful beaches.
We canโ€™t wait to see their vision come to life!
A big thanks Jarrod Bleijie MP, Fiona Simpson MP and the Department of State Development Infrastructure and Planning for their support of this important community project.
