Vision
Our aspiration is for Aura South to become a beacon of possibility, unprecedented liveability and sustainability.
Aura South presents an opportunity to build on our experience and achievements at Aura, one of Australia’s most sustainable masterplanned communities. Our goal is to deliver the next evolution in community sustainability, to set a new benchmark that demonstrates an even better future for people and the planet.
Our vision is to protect and enhance the enviable lifestyle and character of the Sunshine Coast, preserving its environmental attributes while delivering much-needed and affordable homes and creating new employment opportunities for future generations.
Protecting and enhancing lifestyle and character
Aura South will protect and enhance the wellbeing of people and the planet to offer unprecedented liveability immersed in nature.
Half of Aura South will be dedicated to conservation and rehabilitation areas, environmental buffers, and green open spaces. More than one-third will be rewilded and rehabilitated to support regional biodiversity corridors, which will enhance the subtropical character of the Sunshine Coast and extend the Northern Inter-Urban Break.
Aura South offers an opportunity to extend Aura's unprecedented network of interconnected parks and cycle paths, expand its frog breeding initiatives and to listen and respond to what Country needs.
Aura South will help ensure the long-term protection of the Pumicestone Passage both through expert endorsed water management design and ongoing research and education to support conservation efforts.
With walkable neighbourhoods, diverse housing options, and vibrant mixed-use precincts, Aura South offers a blueprint for the future, one where people thrive, innovation flourishes, and future generations inherit a healthier, more resilient lifestyle.
Next generation pathways for all ages
Aura South will offer intergenerational employment pathways in high-value, new economy industries to support local economic growth and address social challenges. It will deliver dwellings, inclusive housing choices, including affordable homes for key workers and social housing.
Our goal is to create fertile ground to incubate new sustainability businesses that focus on protecting the environment and enhancing liveability.
True innovation requires diversity and social and affordable housing will ensure the Sunshine Coast retains and grows its talent, offering opportunities for all ages and the next generation to remain within the local community.
World class sustainability creating tomorrow, today
Aura South will deliver a new model for sustainable living in balance with nature. It will be designed to go beyond net zero, be small in footprint and embrace a circular economy that recaptures 'waste' as a resource to create new materials and products.
Connected, yet self-contained, Aura South will become a living lab where new initiatives can be tested and pioneered by those living and working on-site. We anticipate these will include collective infrastructure sharing, self-sufficient precincts and future technologies that are driving decentralised models for water, soil, waste and utilities.
It will feature sustainable materials and diversion of construction and operational waste and be designed for heat island resilience. Collectively, these initiatives will deliver unprecedented liveability by creating tomorrow, today.
A collaborative legacy empowering possibility
Aura South will leverage a collaborative approach, progressive governance and First Nations engagement to deliver our ambitions. We are committed to working with the community and all levels of government to realise new possibilities. We will take a deep community engagement approach and seek to empower the community through Aura South's governance structures.
The rewilding of Aura South will involve local Elders to ensure connection with Country, embedding traditional knowledge as a foundation for resilience and sustainability, and create opportunity for ongoing custodianship by First Nations.
Our goal is to build capability within the community to secure its future and to establish a community of advocates for sustainable living who can inspire others to do the same.
