Brisbane Olympics infrastructure roadmap boosts demand for homes in Maroochydore

The surging demand for apartments at SOL by Walker in Maroochydore City Centre, just minutes from the beautiful beaches of the Sunshine Coast, is driven by the Queensland Government’s roadmap to the Brisbane 2032 Olympics that will deliver new legacy infrastructure to improve liveability and accessibility for residents in the post-Games period.

The demand for homes at the exclusive residential project is primarily fuelled by the infrastructure development boom driven by the Queensland Government’s roadmap to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which is already shaping the future of the Sunshine Coast.

“The Queensland Premier’s recent announcement, including the proposed Maroochydore Horizon Centre precinct in their Brisbane 2032 Olympics Plan will provide a major boost to residents and businesses in the Maroochydore City Centre and the entire Sunshine Coast region,” Walker Corporation group executive of development Peter Saba says.

“The flow-on effect is already being felt with many buyers looking to secure their future home or investment in SOL by Walker as a prime opportunity to live in one of Australia’s most exciting coastal cities, capitalising on the region’s liveability, accessibility and world-class infrastructure plans.”

“We are seeing a cross-section of buyers purchase at SOL by Walker, from first home buyers to professional couples and families looking for exceptional quality and high-end amenities, along with great access to a brand-new city centre and all just minutes from the beautiful beaches of the Sunshine Coast.”

The proposed $1 billion Horizon Centre will establish a vibrant civic, cultural and entertainment precinct integrated with the new WAVE transport system, which will run through the Maroochydore City Centre and into the Sunshine Coast Airport, providing future SOL by Walker residents seamless access to key destinations across the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane, making city living more convenient than ever.

Horizon Centre will feature a multipurpose arena, 1,400-bed athletes village and a five-star hotel, delivering a long-lasting Olympic and Paralympic legacy for the Sunshine Coast.

According to Saba, the Horizon Centre precinct will not only host Games action but will also provide a lasting post-Games legacy for Sunshine Coast residents in the form of a world-leading venue for concerts, events and cultural experiences beyond 2032.

Describing Maroochydore City Centre as an economic powerhouse for the Sunshine Coast, SunCentral CEO Amanda Yeates said, “In 10 years, we have seen Maroochydore City Centre transformed from a golf course to the makings of a real city, and with incredible projects underway all around us at SOL by Walker, 50 First Avenue, Maroochy Private Hospital and now new legacy infrastructure, the next decade is shaping up to be even bigger.”

Maroochydore Chamber of Commerce president Brendan Bathersby welcomed the major boost for the region. 

“There has never been a more exciting time to be on the Coast, with major legacy infrastructure shaping our future, boosting the local economy and anchoring Maroochydore City Centre as a connected, world-class city for generations to come,” he says.
