The Oceanside Kawana precinct on Queensland's Sunshine Coast will be a focus for investors in the future according to new research from Urbis.
Director of economics and market research for Urbis, Malcolm Aikman, said the Sunshine Coast’s immediate future will be driven by solid job growth on a scale rarely seen in other locations, and the Oceanside precinct is at the epicentre of this growth.

"The Oceanside precinct exhibited strong growth fundamentals, especially with billions of dollars in infrastructure spending leading to the creation of more jobs – with significantly higher wages - and population growth, which in turn should lead to greater demand for residential property," he said.

“The $5.3 billion Oceanside Kawana project, which comprises the Oceanside Health Hub, the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH) and the proposed Oceanside Town Centre, represents one of the largest development projects in Australia and is forecast to employ 16,000 operational staff upon completion.

“This increased employment will bring many more people into the precinct, with population growth within the Oceanside catchment forecast at 2.8 per cent per annum over the 20 years to 2036, well above the one per cent forecast for the Brisbane LGA.

“A major demographic shift for the population is also underway, with average wages within the precinct set to increase dramatically. The average wage of a hospital worker is $92,300, more than 60 per cent higher than the Sunshine Coast LGA median wage of $56,940.”
According to Urbis, almost 70 percent of the active apartment market in Oceanside is already registered as sold or under contract.
