A landmark building in Maroochydore’s emerging city heart is ready for its official opening.
Residents are invited to join the celebrations when the $100m Sunshine Coast City Hall is opened on Saturday, December 10.
Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said the 10-storey building would ultimately feature retail and community spaces, venue hire for community groups and businesses, large, open workspaces as well as communal facilities, end-of-trip facilities and green areas.
“The building has been designed to accommodate contemporary workspaces for its users, with flow on benefits in terms of provision of services to our community,” he said.
“Our community will also be able more clearly see governance in action with the Council Chamber, located on Level 1, easily accessible and visible externally to the building.

“Sunshine Coast City Hall’s top floor, offering views from the hinterland to the coastline, will, when its fit-out is completed, be for the people.
“It will be used for a wide range of council-hosted and sponsored events, citizenship ceremonies and community engagement workshops, as well as being available for hire for specified community and business events.
“From December 12, council’s Customer Contact Centre and Development Services representatives will be located on the ground floor to welcome residents and assist with any council-related enquiries such as rates, animal registration and a variety of applications.”
Members of the public have sparked a debate and made their voices heard as the City Hall nears completion.
The building, at 54 First Avenue, is intended to fit seamlessly into its built and natural environment, as a landmark building in the new Maroochydore City Centre.
The hall will be opened by Mayor Jamieson. Registration to attend the opening is essential, to safely manage tour groups.
