Sunshine Coast to welcome new foodie precinct

The developer behind one of the Gold Coast’s most popular culinary precincts, has set his sights on the Sunshine Coast, with plans for dining destination complete with rooftop restaurant.

The Sunshine Coast is set to welcome a new foodie hub, complete with restaurants, cafes, a butcher, artisan coffee roaster, gourmet deli and market.

BokBeach Corner will open in Bokarina, near Kawana Waters, and is from the developer behind popular Gold Coast dining and shopping precinct Capri on Via Roma, Simon Harvey of Beaugroup.

“BokBeach Corner will set a new benchmark in retail and dining, offering a lifestyle experience for locals like no other,” Harvey said.

Food market Greensmith Grocers has been locked in as the site’s providore, opening a sister store to its Birtinya location in the new development, specialising in organic fare from fruit and veg to pre-made meals, pasta, pantry lines, teas, beauty products and more.

The developers are currently trying to secure a tenant for a new rooftop restaurant space upstairs, which will slide in alongside a fitness centre, as well as the cafe tenants.

Construction of the culinary spaces is due to start later this year.
