Property Management Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast is one of Queensland’s iconic locations for tourists and locals alike. There are vast beaches, a thriving food scene, and many natural treasures within the surrounding hinterland. The Sunshine Coast region stretches from Caloundra, near Brisbane, to the Great Sandy National Park in the north.
With great all-round year weather, the Sunshine Coast is a prime place for Australian’s to retire or work remotely from.

You will find a mixture of classical and modern builds throughout the region. So, if it’s a quaint farmhouse or modern high floor apartment, you’ll be looked after.
The 2016 Census shows that the median age for the Sunshine Coast region is 44 years old. Furthermore, it has the population growing at a rate of 2.7%. According to research by the Queensland Government, 52% of migration to the area is from other states within Australia. This shows a strong desire to move to the warmer and friendlier climate of the Sunshine Coast.
History
Originally inhabited by the Kabi Kabi people, the Sunshine Coast area including the Glass House Mountains was then declared the Bunya Bunya Reserve by Governor George Gipps. Until the 1860’s and 1870’s, the history of the area was not free of conflict between the indigenous people and settlers. Afterwards, the timber industry began to boom with towns beginning as small jetties and ports. Later, fruit and dairy farming replaced the timber trade, with sugar cane and pineapple farming following.
A development boom following World War II saw the Sunshine Coast region gain the reputation as being a popular holiday destination. This included theme parks and tourist attractions arriving soon after in the 1970’s.
As the region continues to develop today, residential areas, shopping and tourist attractions continue to boom. However, the Sunshine Coast is balancing the importance of tourist trade, and its wonderful atmosphere, local produce, and artists.
