Stockland has launched Stockland Twin Waters, a 104 hectare masterplanned land community on the Sunshine Coast that will release 450 new homesites across waterfront, private waterfront and dry lots. The site sits next to the existing Twin Waters community, between the Maroochy River and Mudjimba Beach, and is being delivered alongside a 17.4 hectare lake, shared pedestrian and cycle paths, parklands and a dedicated kangaroo reserve.
More than half of the site has been set aside for open space. The lake, environmental areas, parks, walking trails and the kangaroo reserve are embedded into the masterplan rather than retrofitted at the edges. Lifestyle amenities planned for the community include proposed kayak launch pads and pickleball courts on the lakeside, with future retail and convenience offerings flagged as the community grows.
Homesites range from 500 to 1,200 square metres, with an average lot size around 700 square metres. Stockland is positioning the project at owner-occupier buyers relocating to the coast, families upgrading, and right-sizers, rather than first-home buyers. The first release of 17 homesites is scheduled for late July 2026, with pricing starting from $1.15 million.
“The scale of this new community has enabled more than half of the site to be dedicated to open space, with environmental areas and a central lake embedded into the masterplan from the outset, ensuring nature and outdoor living is part of everyday life within the community.”
Josh Sondergeld, Stockland Development Director
The launch comes as the Sunshine Coast continues to face tight housing conditions. Sunshine Coast Business Council Chair Sandy Zubrinich pointed to the region’s rental vacancy rate of around 0.8 per cent and a limited supply of large, level homesites as reasons projects like this matter to the broader market, including by freeing up smaller homes as buyers move up.
“New developments like Stockland Twin Waters are important in helping respond to ongoing housing demand on the Sunshine Coast, particularly as supply continues to struggle to keep pace with population growth.”
Sandy Zubrinich, Sunshine Coast Business Council Chair
The community is a short drive from the Maroochydore CBD, Sunshine Coast Airport, the Twin Waters Golf Club and Mudjimba Beach. Stockland Queensland State Sales Manager Tina Campbell said interest is expected to be strong, citing limited new land supply on the Sunshine Coast relative to demand, particularly for projects combining location and amenity in established growth corridors.
