Sunshine Coast’s lagoon and parkland project to break ground in the coming months
Exciting changes await Sunshine Coast residents and visitors as construction on the $45 million lagoon and parkland project begins early next year.
Designed to transform the Aura community, this expansive green space and leisure area will become a vibrant gathering place for the region.
This project reflects ongoing efforts to enhance the Sunshine Coast’s appeal, bringing valuable public amenities and elevating the quality of life in the area.
A Community Hub in the Heart of Aura
The new lagoon and parkland area will span 20 hectares, featuring a variety of amenities designed to offer something for everyone. The lagoon, which will serve as the centrepiece, will be accompanied by:
– Visitor amenities, including a lifeguard tower, kiosk, change rooms, first aid room, and staff facilities
– A management area with a manager’s office and plant area
– Community spaces with barbecue areas, an events lawn, and shaded picnic spots
– Fitness and recreation options like walking and cycling paths
– A bridge over Central Avenue
Surrounding the water feature, families and individuals will enjoy vast open spaces, picnic areas and shaded spots, while fitness enthusiasts can take advantage of walking and cycling paths.
The project has been strategically designed to blend with the natural environment, incorporating native plantings and sustainable water management systems. The aim is to create a space that is not only functional but also environmentally conscious, reinforcing the region’s commitment to sustainable growth.
Economic and Lifestyle Benefits
Beyond its immediate recreational appeal, this project represents a significant investment in the local economy. The lagoon and parkland are poised to attract more visitors, boosting nearby retail and dining precincts and making Aura a lively hub of activity.
For locals, it offers a vibrant space for community gatherings, events, and outdoor activities, enriching the lifestyle of the region.
Slated for completion in late 2026, the project aligns with the Sunshine Coast’s broader urban development strategy, focused on enhancing liveability and supporting future population growth.
A Brighter Future
As the Sunshine Coast continues to evolve, projects like the Aura lagoon and parkland highlight the region’s commitment to providing high-quality infrastructure and public spaces.
This development not only enhances the area’s appeal but also contributes to the long-term vision of creating a vibrant, sustainable community.
