Aura residents, get ready — big things are coming! Construction has officially begun on Aura Home + Life, a brand new $80 million retail hub being developed by Capital Property Group, that will bring some of Australia’s favourite home and lifestyle brands right to our doorstep.

Located on the corner of Graf Drive and Aura Boulevard, this exciting new precinct will be home to big names like Spotlight, Anaconda and Harris Scarfe, making it easier than ever for the Aura community to shop locally.

“The Aura Home + Life project is set to offer quality retail options for the Aura community and surrounds, including Caloundra residents and hinterland towns west of the Bruce Highway. Along with construction commencement, we are extremely excited to be able to announce the commitment of Spotlight Property Group’s three brands to the centre, all with best-in-class lifestyle offerings,” Richard Snow, Capital Property Group’s Head of Property, said.

More than just shopping — it’s a community boost

Aura Home + Life isn’t just bringing new retail options; it’s creating real opportunities for locals. The project is expected to generate up to 100 jobs during construction and more than 250 permanent and casual positions once it opens.

“I’m so happy to see this much needed and exciting project begin,” State Member for Caloundra, Kendall Moreton MP, said. “Bringing this range of businesses to the region is a fantastic addition to our rapidly expanding community.”

With over 12 retail spaces planned — ranging from 350sqm to 5,000sqm — plus two food and beverage outlets and 400 car parks, this homemaker centre is shaping up to be a convenient shopping and lifestyle hub.

“We are thrilled to partner with Capital Property Group to bring a diverse and top-tier range of home and lifestyle brands to the Aura and Sunshine Coast community, spanning everything from homewares, manchester, and electrical goods, to outdoor and recreational products,” Zac Fried, Spotlight Property Group’s Executive Deputy Chairman, said.
