Aveo receives planning approval for $60 million Harmony, Sunshine Coast community

The retirement owner, operator and manager Aveo Group has received planning approval for a $60 million project on the Sunshine Coast.

Set within Harmony, the $3 billion master planned community at Palmview; the 5.4-hectare site will accommodate 138 independent living units, providing homes to more than 200 seniors upon completion.

Aveo will commence construction in April 2018 to be built over five stages featuring two and three-bedroom units, with the first 63 units planned in the first stage with completion anticipated by June 2020.

Amenities also planned in the first stage include a community centre featuring a café, media room, recreational and entertaining areas, as well as a range of professional health and wellness facilities.

Aveo Group CEO Geoff Grady said Harmony’s location was a key consideration when choosing the site, with the Sunshine Coast experiencing a 21% growth in senior residents in the five years leading up to 2016.

Palmview will be Aveo’s third development on the Sunshine Coast alongside flagship community Aveo Peregian Springs Country Club,

Strategically located in the heart of the Sunshine Coast on 378 hectares, Harmony will deliver more than 4,800 homes for 12,000 future residents, 100 hectares of open space and a 60km network of pedestrian path and cycle ways. 

AVID Property Group General Manager Queensland Bruce Harper said intergenerational planning has been an important focus at Harmony since the project’s inception more than a decade ago.

“In the past, most new residential developments really only catered towards younger families, with the expectation that people would move on as their circumstances changed,” Harper said. 

“Needless to say, we are thrilled that Aveo Group will deliver a state-of-the-art retirement community right here at Harmony.”

Situated on Harmony Boulevard in Palmview, the community neighbours Sippy Downs, Buderim, Mooloolaba, Maroochydoore and Kawana Waters.
