Like wine, Coast improves with age

THE Sunshine Coast is growing up ... you can see it by the quality of the commercial buildings that are becoming a part of the landscape.

Myer created a benchmark when it came to the Sunshine Plaza at Maroochydore. Since then there has been the expansion of Stockland shopping centre at Caloundra, the creation of Noosa Civic, the extension of Kawana Shoppingworld and the planned redevelopment of the old sugar mill site at Nambour.

KAWANA is set to become the heart of health on the Sunshine Coast with the construction of the new $150 million Ramsay Private Hospital ahead of schedule and hundreds of doctors and nurses applying for work.

EXCEPTIONAL beaches, glorious hinterland rainforests, rural countryside and urban living can be found within 30 minutes of each other on the Sunshine Coast.
A short drive will take you to a different landscape where you can feel as though you're on a miniature holiday.
These are just some of the experiences attracting people to the Coast as permanent residents, and it is also the driving factor for property investors.

Do the math - this stacks up!

"It is a game changer, a recovery catalyst, a smart job generator, which the likes of David Koch should be spruiking rather than carpet bombing."

I like David Koch. I must confess I like Mel, Natalie and Fifi more, but David, by my standards, is a cut above the rest when it comes to daytime television.

The boom we forget to see

The Age by Michael Pascoe – March 8, 2012

One of Australia’s largest infrastructure projects is about to be unleashed in the midst of a city of 340,000 people. Over the first five years of the venture’s phased eight-year construction life, some $1.5 million will be spent on it every day.

During the peak first three years of building, the construction workforce will average about 2000. And when it’s finished, it will create 10,000 permanent jobs - which immediately tells you that it’s not a resources project.
