New resort-style retirement opportunity A major new retirement community is about to take shape in Beerwah, with a recent development application submitted to Sunshine Coast Council.
developer claims is less than half of the preferred maximum density specified for the proposed use in a low density residential zone.
Aspect Glasshouse will be a 200-dwelling lifestyle resort for the over 50s situated on Steve Irwin Way between Back Creek Road and the Beerwah Hideaway.
House designs and styles will be varied to create a visually attractive mix, with all dwellings having at least 20m2 of private outdoor area.
The 14.3 hectare area, currently owned by Stewart and Margaret Skerman and Baywood Pty Ltd, is to be developed by Aspect Property Group, which the development application says has constructed major residential complexes in urban centres such as St Lucia and Toowong. Zoned as low density residential, the proposed retirement facility is within allowable uses under the council’s planning scheme, so the application has been deemed code assessable, meaning that no public notification or submission period is required. Aspect Property Group describes the proposal as the “… first purpose designed and built resort for over 50s in the Glass House Mountains area, providing a viable option for downsizing locals to reside in, allowing more time to appreciate pastimes and interact with their local community”. According to the plans submitted to council, there will be 200 residences with 190 two-bedroom dwellings, with a mix of single and double garages, and ten duplex-style buildings, each with two onebedroom residences.
