From a rush on land and luxury terraces to major milestones with the marina and island precinct, 2020 was a year to remember for Pelican Waters.

The southern Sunshine Coast cemented its reputation as a premium destination to live, work and play, with Henzells Agency and Pelican Waters negotiating sales of more than $130 million in a landmark year.

This demand was evident with the recent release of nine dry lots adjoining the estate’s future central park, when the entire boutique selection sold out in less than 24 hours prior to public release, for more than $5 million.

More land opportunities are on the horizon for early next year when Pelican Waters releases its next range of waterfront and dry lots.

February will mark the estate’s first major waterfront release in more than nine months, comprising approximately 18 sites ranging from 480sqm to 902sqm in size and water frontages up to 29 metres, with uninterrupted parkland and Bells Creek at the rear.

A dry release will follow in March, made up of a similar number of home sites from 400sqm to 650sqm in size, with waterview, park-facing and cul-de-sac product all in the mix.

Meanwhile, a desire for locals to enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle in the community they know and love drove a flood of demand for Pelican Waters’ latest housing concept, The Signature Terrace Collection (pictured below).

Only a handful of opportunities remain for the upmarket terrace homes in the heart of the emerging island and marina precinct, following numerous sales or contracts taken for well over $4 million this summer alone.

A major highlight occurred this month with the opening of a display terrace home doubling as sales office on site, fuelling even stronger interest in the boutique collection.

Sales specialist Morgan Bonanno said people were enjoying experiencing first-hand what the finished product looked like and they don’t want to miss out.

“The unique design features of these homes provide a new way of living in Pelican Waters and to see it is to believe it,’’ she said.

The new Pelican Waters sales centre on the corner of Coral Sea Drive and Arlington Drive is now open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 5pm and on weekends from 10am to 4pm.

Adjoining the sales centre is the exciting new waterfront display village currently under construction.

The village will feature collection of premium homes from the likes of Immackulate Designer Homes, Metricon, Matira, Platinum Residential, Dwyer Quality Homes, McLachlan Homes, qldBUILT, Arcadia, Stroud Homes and Burns Builders.

Pelican Waters general manager of development, Hamish Pressland, said anyone interested in a customised, high-end home tailored for the Pelican Waters lifestyle should check out what these builders had to offer.

“All builders are well under way with their construction and the village featuring a walkable foreshore, seven waterfront homes, four dry lots and a collection of terrace product is on track for an April opening,” Mr Pressland said.

“Some homes may be completed as early as January, providing the perfect opportunity to drop by for a sneak peak of what’s in store,’’ he said.

Pelican Waters looks to start 2021 with a flurry of activity including the official February opening of the eastern bridge linking the marina and shopping centre to Golden Beach residents via Michael Street and associated loch and weir system (below), plus the opening of the first stage of the Island’s 2ha Central Park.

Representing a total infrastructure investment of more than $10.5 million, the bridge will open the island precinct, new marina and everything else Pelican Waters has to offer to residents from the Golden Beach side of the estate, through Michael Street and Anning Avenue for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.

It will also serve as a gateway entry to the Pelican Waters canal system for boats and other leisure craft.

2021 will also be big year for the much anticipated Marina and associated lifestyle and commercial hub following the appointment of respected local company Kennedy Property Group to develop the waterfront village.

The project will include restaurants and cafes overlooking the marina, a standalone waterfront restaurant surrounded by parkland, retail shops and a medical hub featuring medical centre and allied health facilities such as pharmacy, physio, x-ray imaging and more.

The marina project has created a buzz in the local boating community with strong enquiry flooding in for the 160 dry stack storage spaces for vessels up to 10m, and the 125 wet berths available for boats up to 15m in length.

“Construction is set commence on the marina village around the same time as the neighbouring marina in April next year. All going to plan, the marina will be launching its first boats by the end of 2021, while the vibrant village hub will be fully functioning by mid-2022,’’ Mr Pressland said.
