One of the largest blocks of vacant land in Maroochydore has attracted the attention of overseas buyers.

No. 7 and 11 Southern Drive, and 10 Carnaby Street is on offer via an expressions of interest campaign.

The site is more than 6050sqm and has been dubbed “one of the last significant development ready sites” in the town, by Ray White Maroochydore and RWC Northern Corridor Sunshine Coast.

Sales consultant Ari Whisson said it was “one of the largest” vacant sites in the area.

“It’s a blank canvas, close to the CBD,” he said.

“This is one of the only opportunities of its size where the future buyer can create something that can help shape the city.”

The property is being sold by a Sydney family that purchased it for less than $4m in 2004.

A large vacant site in Maroochydore.
This large corner site in Maroochydore is on offer for the first time in more than 20 years.

The site has been vacant since.

Mr Whisson said its presence on the market had attracted “local, national and international interest”.

“Someone could potentially deliver a landmark commercial, mixed-use or residential project,” he said.

“We have also had people looking at it from a retail and health and wellness perspective.

“No doubt it will be a significant sale for the area.”

The site is currently restricted to a height limit of 25m; however, the principal centre zoned land could see it scaled to 35mm under a new draft Sunshine Coast planning scheme.

RWC Northern Corridor Sunshine Coast director Michael Shadforth said the property would be more prominent in years to come.

“The upcoming Maroochydore public transport station will sit right on its doorstep,” he said.

The site is adjacent to the growing city centre, which will continue to expand into the green area on the right.

The site is stretched across three titles, has street frontage of 245m and is in a prominent corner position.

It borders the emerging Maroochydore City Centre priority development area, which is being driven by developer Walker Corporation and Sunshine Coast Council.

A mix of residential, commercial, retail, civic and community uses have been established there, and there is significantly more to come.
