Sippy Downs development: 89 unit complex submitted to Sunshine Coast Council

A Sunshine Coast education hub could receive another boom in housing for more than 200 people through a proposed multimillion-dollar, seven-level apartment complex.

A $67m unit complex comprised of 89 units which could house more than 200 people in one of the Sunshine Coast’s “growth corridors” has been pitched for a growing education town.

The development between Sippy Downs Dr and the Sunshine Motorway in the heart of Sippy Downs would include 56 two-bedroom units, 32 large three bedroom apartments and a one-bedroom apartment, if approved.

The project will feature a pool in its seven-level complex, 142 car parks, lawns and landscaping across the road from the council’s new Sippy Downs Forest Park.

RM Developments director Josh Myers said the complex was timely as the Sippy Downs precinct was enjoying remarkable growth.

“It’s an enormous growth corridor,” he said.

“The region’s education precinct has attracted newcomers and sparked an increase in commercial and hospitality offerings.”

Sippy Downs Forest Park, which was expected to be completed by the end of 2022, will feature trees and open spaces, barbecues, natural seating, pathways and boardwalks and a playground.

The unit complex has been designed by Marcoola-based architect Greg King and will be developed by RM developments who were responsible for the $42m Plaza Central project.

The proposed complex is situated near a golf driving range, Siena Catholic College, the University of the Sunshine Coast along with Youi’s national headquarters and supermarkets.

A development application for the project is now being considered by the Sunshine Coast Council.
