Sunshine Coast, QLD
The Sunshine Coast is Queensland’s strongest real estate market, supported by a robust economy that has grown by 4% per year over the last 15 years, well above the national rate of economic growth.
Combined with the neighbouring Noosa and Gympie LGAs, this region is easily the stand-out market in the state, inspired by big investment in infrastructure.
In total, over $20 billion in major infrastructure projects and private investment is recent completed, under construction or in the planning pipeline.
This is a game-changer for the Sunshine Coast. Nothing supports property price growth like major new infrastructure spending, which generates jobs, economic activity and improved amenity for residents.
The big-ticket item is the $2 billion Sunshine Coast University Hospital which opened in April 2017. There is also the $150 million private hospital built in association with it, as well as the Oceanside Kawana Health Hub.
In the last five years, 20,000 new jobs have been created. This represents a major boost to economic activity, jobs and real estate demand.
