Sunshine Coast City Hall

Bringing precision and creativity to the development approvals process, our team was engaged to achieve relevant planning approvals for the new Sunshine Coast City Hall and meet both public interface requirements and commercial car parking demands.

Located in the Maroochydore CBD, the city hall is a unique site as each of the four sides of the building encounter a road frontage. Because of this, the design needed to consider and integrate the function of that street or laneway frontage, creating complications in approval negotiations.

The proposed design incorporated active sleeving on the plaza side of the development for the Council Chambers office, ground floor retail tenancies, publicly accessible areas and end of trip facilities. Working with the local council, our team managed a comprehensive design negotiation processes exploring multiple design opportunities.
