A 39-hectare farm for sale in the heart of the Sunshine Coast would become a '' technology village '' under an idea proposed by the region's former mayor .
A new application, made in 2022, seeks approval to build up to 570 dwellings including retirement living, traditional homes on residential blocks, townhouses, and apartments.Since Mr Wise's death, the family has gone ahead with a development application on the site to honour his legacy and vision.Former mayor Mark Jamieson led the region for close to 12 years as the Sunshine Coast built an international airport, town centre, and international broadband connection.
He said there was a need to "satisfy the housing crisis" across the Sunshine Coast and south-east Queensland by ensuring large amounts of residential units were included. It allows the tallest building to be 15 metres high or about four storeys on the northern and eastern parts of the site, and just 8.5m or two storeys on the western side.Town planner James Brownsworth was a close friend and professional advisor to Mr Wise.Pioneering farmer Peter Wise has passed away on the Sunshine Coast after a short stay in hospital at the age of 82.He said the work of the late farmer showed he "had a big-picture view of the highest and best use of the land".
