Stockland announces $5 million extension to Aura retail centre in Baringa

Stockland announced a new $5 million extension to the Baringa Town Centre in its next stage of development in Aura on the Sunshine Coast.

The project will include a state-of-the- art medical centre and family-owned swim school, in addition to a number of other retail offerings, and marks a major milestone for the $5 billion community.

The new 1,215 square metre development will be comprised of Avenue Dental, Aura Family Doctors and John Wallace Swim School, bringing a number of valuable facilities and services to the award-winning masterplanned community.

Josh Sondergeld, Project Director at Stockland, said he was thrilled to progress plans to further develop and diversify the existing retail precinct in the heart of Aura’s first suburb of Baringa.

“Baringa is already shaping up to be a thriving community with retail, residential, commercial, education – and now – health hub.

“This development is in line with our strategy to deliver the best communities in the country – providing excellent outcomes for residents and key infrastructure close to home. We know the importance of health services, now more than ever before, and are pleased to be able to offer the Aura community easier access to such critical resources.”

Mr Sondergeld continued: “More than 5,000 people are now calling Aura home and we look forward to welcoming many more residents into our community this year.”

Kristy Perkins, Owner of John Wallace Swim School, said that they were looking forward to expanding their swim school business within Aura.

Greg Fine, Principal Dentist at Avenue Dental, said: “We’ve been a proud part of the Sunshine Coast community for the last 29 years and are so excited to now offer our services in Baringa. We have already formed a very strong connection with the area as many staff members call Aura home.
