As the largest master planned community underway in Palmview, Harmony is set on 378 hectares and will deliver more than 4,800 homes for 13,000 future residents, catering to a wide range of buyers – all enhanced by 130 hectares of open space and the future delivery of a more than 30,000 GFA Town Centre. More than 9,000 short-term jobs will be generated through the delivery of the project.
Harmony’s design embraces the Sunshine Coast’s enviable lifestyle and living at Harmony means it’s easy to get around. Harmony is conveniently connected to the Bruce Highway and the Sunshine Coast Motorway, and Mooloolaba is 10km and Maroochydore 14km to the north, the coastline is only 7km to the east, Brisbane is 90 km to the south, and the Sunshine Coast hinterland is only 20kms to the west.
The ingenious masterplan also features Queensland’s very first Grand Linear Park – spanning more than five hectares and running the length of ten football fields, it links residents to Harmony’s 60km network of pedestrian path and cycle ways. Adding to the parkland amenities, a future local park will pay homage to Harmony’s Grand Linear Park and provide four hectares of additional play and relaxation greenspace.

Spanning 711 hectares, Woodlea is a major asset for the West, comprising prestigious schools, ‘destination style’ playgrounds, parks and sporting facilities and is home to a large-scale Town Centre with a Coles. Woodlea is currently home to 14,500 residents and upon completion, will effectively be a ‘mini-city in the suburbs’ with approximately 25,000 residents.
Woodlea is the largest masterplanned community in Australia to achieve all six EnviroDevelopment accreditation ‘leaves’. This demonstrates high-level performance in the areas of ecosystems, water, energy, waste, materials, and community.
Approximately 30 per cent of the site has been earmarked for public open space, incorporating an extensive network of walking and cycling paths.
A commitment to environmental preservation is evident in sensitive landscaping design, to rehabilitate habitat areas around the Kororoit Creek corridor, Deanside Wetlands, and protected river red gum forest. Woodlea is proud to be the first developer to partner with the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA) in the procurement of the very first purpose-built wetland habitat for the protected growling grass frog.
Woodlea is ahead of its rehabilitation and conservation program with more than 30,000 trees already planted across the masterplan, with annual community events aimed to encourage residents to help see this number grow.
Woodlea is also proud to be carrying out significant works to preserve our community’s heritage, through the restoration of the historic ruins of the Rockbank Inn. Once complete, the heritage-listed site will be stabilised and made safe for the public to visit the ruins.

| The community consisted of 4 stages and is now a well-established neighbourhood comprising 108 home sites ranging in size from 450m2 to 747m2. The features are traditional, and the unique design is bordered by “bankbook park”, an incredibly unique feature parkland, featuring fully restored mining artefacts from the nearby Wongawilli Mine to celebrate the rich history of the area and a magnificent heritage listed fig tree.
The Grove is also home to two of Sheargold’s more recent build form projects, Bankbook Terraces, and The Grove Townhouses. The Grove Townhouses are ten carefully designed, traditionally inspired, 3-bedroom townhouses, all with ensuite bathrooms and layouts to maximise those great views of the Illawarra escarpment synonymous with Vista Park. Bankbook Terraces take on a more modern look, and include nine 3-bedroom floorplans, two with studio garages, all with ensuite bathrooms and layout to maximise their sunny aspect while bring those great vistas right to the front doors.

The Alkimos Beach development, a partnership between DevelopmentWA and Lendlease, is one of the biggest coastal developments in Perth’s northern growth corridor in more than 50 years.
In line with the development partners’ goals to create carbon neutral ‘all-electric’ communities, the development of Alkimos Beach is taking a long-term view to ensure the commercial, retail, employment and lifelong learning opportunities created today are relevant and sustainable in the future. Alkimos Beach is positioned as a leader in sustainable living through a range of initiatives that allow residents to minimise their energy and water consumption, thus strengthening the community’s resilience today and in the future.
The built form outcomes have a strong focus on achieving significant energy and water efficiencies for residential households, with financial savings for householders as a result. To achieve all-electric living, all homes at Alkimos Beach are required to install a solar PV system, and a solar electric or pump water heating system. Installation of induction cooktops are also incentivised.
Retention of existing key landscape features has been a major driver in the design of the beach development and involves creating landscape corridors connecting urban areas with the coast and areas of retained open space and dunes.
Implementing best practice for waste management and using environmentally responsible materials in construction ensures the built component of Alkimos Beach is a leading example of sustainable development.
There is also a very strong commitment by the development team to expand community knowledge of how to create and live a more healthy and sustainable life.
