City Centre enters new era
Sunshine Coast Council and its partners, SunCentral Maroochydore Pty Ltd and Walker Corporation, are welcoming a new era for the Maroochydore City Centre, with amendments to its Development Scheme to reshape the vibrancy and attractiveness of the CBD now in place.
The amendments to the Development Scheme – which were the subject of public consultation in August-September 2023 – reshape the major open space and waterways and provide a platform for the Maroochydore City Centre to progressively take over the mantle as Australia’s most liveable city.
