Stockland has started construction on the Aura Town Centre, a new retail, dining and entertainment precinct within its largest master-planned community on the Sunshine Coast.

Spanning about 16,300 square metres, the first stage of the Aura Town Centre will feature a Woolworths and an ALDI supermarket, two mini-majors and around 55 specialty retailers and kiosks.

Deputy Premier of Queensland Jarrod Bleijie joined Stockland representatives and the local community at the project site to officially break ground.

“Queensland is open for business and delivering a better lifestyle through a stronger economy. A thriving community needs a heart and helps make a development a place to call home,” said Bleijie.

“The Aura community is a key part of the Caloundra South Priority Development Area and the Crisafulli Government moved quickly to approve this new precinct, so locals finally have shops, dining and fun at their doorstep.”

Marco Ettorre, executive general manager for town centres at Stockland, said the start of construction marked an important step for the company’s retail business and the Aura community.

“The project showcases the strength of Stockland’s diversified business, as we work with our residential teams and partner with industry, government and tenants to deliver everyday essentials close to home,” said Ettorre. “More than that, we’re creating the heart for a growing community, with the town centre underpinning the 100-hectare Aura City Centre and bringing together parklands, open space, retail, dining and entertainment.”

Designed to connect with the 5.3-hectare Aura Parklands, currently under construction, the town centre will sit alongside the future Aura Hotel operated by the Comiskey Group, forming the retail and mixed-use heart of the 100-hectare Aura City Centre.

Developed, owned and managed by Stockland, the Aura Town Centre is being built by FDC Construction & Fitout and is expected to open in late 2027.
