The Sunshine Coast's working centre, not just its beach.
Maroochydore is the Sunshine Coast's commercial centre, not a satellite of it, and the numbers back that up: 20,629 people, a median age of 47, and household income of $1,360 a week, both healthy for a coastal city this size. Sunshine Plaza and the professional offices around it carry the daily trade, while construction leads the wider Sunshine Coast council area with 8,376 businesses, feeding the units and commercial fit-outs still rising around the river mouth. This is a settled market with money to spend, built on trade and property rather than a young population still finding its feet.
'We're flat out already, why would we need a website' is what plenty of Maroochydore tradies will tell you, and construction is exactly why it's true for now: it's the largest single industry across the Sunshine Coast council area, and word of mouth is easy when everyone around you is renovating or building out. It won't stay that way. An estimated 2,340 businesses trade out of Maroochydore itself, competing for a population with a median age of 47 where 27.1% are over 65, people who research a builder, a physiotherapist, a mortgage broker or a real estate agent online long before they pick up the phone. A retiree pricing a bathroom renovation looks at the website before the ute. The businesses still running on a number scrawled on a signwritten door are handing the next job to whoever bothered to rank.
