New Caloundra South State School to Spark Growth in Sunshine Coast Property Market
Exciting news for families and investors alike — a brand-new state primary school is set to open in Caloundra South by 2028, marking a major milestone in one of the Sunshine Coast’s fastest-growing communities.
The school, unofficially titled Caloundra South State School, will accommodate up to 1140 students, reflecting the region’s rapid residential expansion. Strategically located between Western Drive, Tyndall Circuit, and Hotham Crescent in Banya, the new school is expected to significantly enhance liveability in the emerging precinct.
A Boon for Local Real Estate
From a real estate perspective, the announcement of a major new educational facility signals more than just quality schooling—it often heralds a surge in buyer interest and property value appreciation. Families are drawn to areas where excellent education is accessible and close to home. As a result, we can anticipate rising demand for homes in Banya, Nirimba, and surrounding communities in the coming years.
Government Support Fuels Confidence
Queensland Treasurer David Janetzki highlighted the importance of delivering core services to meet the needs of a booming population:
“This is one of Queensland’s fastest-growing regions, and we have a responsibility to provide the core services and facilities, such as schools.”
Similarly, Minister for Education John-Paul Langbroek reinforced the government’s commitment to strong educational foundations:
“We are getting back to the basics to improve education outcomes: more reading, more writing and better facilities to help children thrive.”
With funding details to be unveiled in the upcoming State Budget, both buyers and developers will be watching closely.
Future-Ready Communities
Caloundra South, part of the broader Aura master planned development by Stockland, already features a growing network of parks, shops, bike paths, and early learning centres. The addition of this new primary school brings the community even closer to its vision of a thriving, family-focused suburb.
Local MP Kendall Morton emphasised the impact the school will have:
“The new Caloundra South state school will benefit local families and build a brighter future for the next generation.”
What It Means for Buyers and Sellers
If you’re considering buying in Caloundra South or Banya, now is a smart time to act. Properties within school catchments are consistently in high demand — especially as construction milestones are reached and enrolments open.
If you’re already a homeowner in the area, this new school is likely to boost your property’s value and appeal to future buyers seeking long-term family living.
As always, location, lifestyle, and learning go hand in hand when it comes to smart real estate decisions — and the upcoming Caloundra South school is poised to tick all three boxes.
