Building your first home on the Sunshine Coast & around Gympie.
Thinking about building your first home north of Brisbane?
The Sunshine Coast and Gympie region gives you a particularly broad mix of options, from major new communities close to the coast to hinterland towns and more regional locations further north.
Why consider the Sunshine Coast & Gympie?
The biggest difference here is choice of lifestyle.
You might want to stay closer to coastal employment and amenities, look around one of the newer southern Sunshine Coast communities, move inland or consider going further north towards Gympie.
Your budget and commute can look very different depending on which direction you choose.
Areas to explore in Sunshine Coast
Baringa & Nirimba
Baringa and Nirimba form part of the newer Aura community and may suit buyers specifically looking for a newer masterplanned environment.
Palmview
Palmview offers another newer residential option closer to the central Sunshine Coast.
Beerwah
Beerwah provides a hinterland alternative with established town services and rail connections rather than a coastal setting.
Gympie
Gympie is a regional city in its own right and offers a very different proposition from living on the Sunshine Coast.
It may suit buyers who are comfortable moving further north and want established regional services rather than proximity to the coast.
What should you consider before choosing an area?
Consider whether you need to be near the coast, where you work, how often you travel south, public transport, local amenities, the type of land available and whether you prefer a new community or an established town.
Already have land or an existing home?
If you already own a block, or have an existing home you are considering replacing, you do not need to start with house and land packages.

FAQs.
What areas should first home buyers consider?
Caloundra West, Baringa, Nirimba, Palmview, Beerwah and Gympie give you several very different options to compare.
Is Gympie part of the Sunshine Coast?
No. Gympie is its own regional city and local government area. We are grouping it with the Sunshine Coast here because it makes sense as a first-home-buyer comparison pathway within Mayde’s northern Queensland catchment, rather than suggesting they are the same place.
Should I look coastal or inland?
That depends on your work, budget and lifestyle. Compare the practical differences rather than choosing on lifestyle alone.
Can Mayde build on my existing block?
Potentially. Check your location using Where We Build.
