THE gateway to Palmview's $3b master-planned community of Harmony will become a reality on Monday.
AVID Property Group and Sunshine Coast Council's Cr Rick Baberowski will officially open Peter Crosby Way, the northern access into the 378ha project to the south of Sippy Downs.
During the next 15 to 20 years Harmony will deliver more than 4800 homes for 12,000 future residents, all enhanced by 100ha of open space.
Harmony is also slated for the future delivery of a town centre offering 15,250sq m gross floor area.
AVID Property Group general manager Bruce Harper said the event would be a landmark day for development at Palmview.
"This is an exciting construction milestone as we officially open Peter Crosby Way - the gateway to Harmony," Mr Harper said.
"The road's name pays homage to the site's Crosby family history and will service 12,000 future Harmony residents, as well as those in neighbouring communities."
Sunshine Coast farmer Peter Crosby has been a land-owner since 1964 and has strong roots in the area.
Crosby Hill Road at Buderim is named after the family.
Mr Crosby has been operating a cattle farm on the land, and a cane farm in previous decades.
The road opening coincides with the start of construction on individual houses at the estate.
Work on display homes in the Harmony Display World is already well advanced with the 43 homes from a team of 25 national and local builder partners expected to open in the second half of this year.
Harmony's first home buyer Daniel Clark said he was looking forward to construction commencing on his new home.
"It is very exciting to get out on site and see the construction progressing at Harmony," Mr Clark said.
"Having downsized to a smaller sized block will mean less time spent on maintenance and more time for the important things in life.
"Harmony is the perfect location for me - right in the heart of the Sunshine Coast but also a short drive to Brisbane, meaning I can be close to both my daughters and grandchildren at Noosa and Albany Creek.
"I love that my block is so private and there will be lots of green, open spaces in the community.
"I was happy to learn that the development has become the first six leaf EnviroDevelopment masterplanned community in the South East."
Queensland home builders, Stylemaster Homes, is set to deliver Mr Clark's new four-bedroom, open plan home.
