Pikos Property Group have lodged a minor change DA at Banyan Tree Residences - 8 River Terrace, Kangaroo Point.

The change includes a slight height increase from the previous approval, and 63 x 3 bed apartments across three buildings, rather than two. The new DA, designed by Arkhefield also includes a rooftop bar and restaurant, with a glass lift providing views on the way up top. Situated on top of the Kangaroo Point cliffs, the western-facing apartments and rooftop would certainly offer excellent views of the river and CBD.

The development would also be widely seen due to its highly eminent location, and the new Arkhefield design undoubtedly meets the high standard in which the prominent site demands.

Maroochydore is set to become the business and employment hub of the Sunshine Coast, with the bold Maroochydore City Centre Development Scheme beginning early construction recently. The massive priority development area aims to create a new central business district for the Sunshine Coast through a masterplanned, 60 hectare space situated on council owned land and the former Horton Park Golf Club.

As part of the masterplan Sunshine Coast Council are currently building a stunning new city hall, designed by Cottee Parker Architects, and being built by McNab. The new council headquarters will feature 10 floors totalling approximately 9,400sqm of GFA, a rooftop recreational area and 156 car parking spaces. The building is also targeting both a 5 star NABERS and Green Star rating as a model of sustainable design.

Sunshine Coast Council aimed to incorporate natural elements in the building’s form, and take occupation of a landmark building with smart, creative and innovative design principles. It’s clear from the renders that Cottee Parker have done an excellent job in delivering on these requests.

Council is set to occupy their new city hall building in July 2022.
