Prominent Coast developer Mal Pratt is part of a team hoping to build a multistorey unit block in a suburb popular with university students.
A company directed by Mr Pratt as well as Konstantinos Dimitrios Spilios and Leanne Jones is has applied to develop The Haven Apartments on Central Dr at Sippy Downs.
It will feature 37 units across four storeys.
One unit will be positioned on the ground floor with the 62-space car park.
Specialty accommodation pitched for growing suburb
The Mooloolaba-based company lodged the application to Sunshine Coast Council.
“The size, scale and density of the units are appropriate in relation to the upcoming high-density residential area,” a planning report stated.
DEVELOPMENT SNAPSHOT:
– Yakola Fifty One Pty Ltd has lodged a code-assessable application to develop 37 units
– Near Coles shopping village, multiple schools and the University of the Sunshine Coast
– Five different unit designs were submitted
– An operational works and boundary realignment application were also submitted
– Mooloolaba-based company directed by Mal Pratt, Konstantinos Dimitrios Spilios and Leanne Jones
The site is next to Chancellor Park Golf Driving Range and near the Coles shopping village, Sienna Catholic College, Chancellor State College and the University of the Sunshine Coast.
Unit types include a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, with one style comprising a three-bedroom dual-key apartment.

“The proposed development will provide convenient and central accommodation for the Sippy Downs area, in close proximity to demand for unit living generated by the University of the Sunshine Coast campus and other commercial/community land uses,” the planning report added.
The two lots either side are also owned by Mr Pratt’s company.
Another development application is awaiting a decision over lots 2, 3 and 4 on Sedge St and Central Dr for 36 residential units.
That application was made by Sippy Downs JV Projects in July.
Court battle looms over controversial scrapyard
The developer behind plans for a waste facility in Yandina, blocked by the Sunshine Coast Council due to environmental concerns, has begun court proceedings to overturn the decision.
Short-term accommodation part of townhouse development pitch
Developers have revealed plans for a set of townhouses within a stone’s throw of one of the region’s biggest shopping precincts and want the green light for short-term accommodation too.
