LOCATION

Kunda Park

Kunda Park shares the same postcode as neighbouring Buderim, lying on its northern perimeter on flat former grazing land bordering Eudlo Creek. The name Kunda is believed to be the Kabi language word gunda or konda, meaning cabbage tree palm.

Primarily an industrial suburb – a mixture of light manufacturing, warehousing/storage, and wholesale retail it is a particularly busy hub on weekdays and generally quieter on the weekend. Maroochydore Road – a major arterial route runs straight through the middle, providing good connectivity to the M1 and Sunshine Motorway.

12 kilometres south-west of the Sunshine Coast Airport, 97 kilometres to Brisbane Airport, 100 kilometres north of Brisbane CBD, and 113-kilometres to the Port of Brisbane – just minutes to the motorways, Kunda Park is strategically located for easy, quick access to essential road networks.

Major national and multi-national companies such as Mitre 10, Bunnings Trade, Harley Davidson, and Holcim, operate amongst a landscape of small to medium sized businesses.

Kunda Park is one of the Sunshine Coasts longest established, most central, and widely recognised industrial hubs, home to some of our most innovative and successful enterprises.

An hour north of Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast stretching from Caloundra in the south through to Noosa/Tewantin in the north and incorporating hinterland townships to the west in between, covers an area of approximately 2,291 square kilometres with 60 kilometres of spectacular open coastline.

The Sunshine Coast is Australia’s 9th largest population centre (as of June 2021) and 5th largest in the state, with a population growth outpacing most of the nation, and one of the fastest growing regional economies.

Over the past several years there has been billions of dollars’ worth of investment poured into the region from both the public and private sectors, with projects including airport expansion, the building of the public and private university hospitals and health hub, SunCentral CBD in Maroochydore, the city of Aura in Caloundra South, submarine broadband connection providing fastest connection to Asia from the east coast, Bruce Highway upgrade, multiple new housing estates and associated infrastructure including schools and sporting facilities, industrial parks and more.

The Sunshine Coast comes under the governance of two local councils – the Sunshine Coast Regional Council covering the southern to central suburbs, and Noosa Shire Council. There is good connectivity across the region via road networks, rail through the hinterland townships, and bus; and the Sunshine Coast Airport now has a second runway and is open to international travel (now Australia’s fastest growing airport (traffic-wise).

With the 2032 Olympics being held in south-east Queensland, there will be an acceleration in investment in this region, particularly in and around transport, including possible rail upgrades providing line duplication for fast rail and there is also a proposal in place for a light rail coastal service.
