Fraser Coast over 50s Living: Behind the Projects

The Fraser Coast, and Hervey Bay in particular, is one of Australia’s fastest-ageing communities and is at a pivotal point in its growth.

With a rapidly expanding over-50s population, constrained housing supply, and continued migration to the region, demand for a broader mix of housing options is increasing. Planning reform and investment will be critical to enabling sustainable growth and supporting the next generation of retirement living across the coast.

Join us on Thursday, 30 July for a behind-the-scenes look at two projects at very different stages of delivery, hearing directly from the people leading them.

Steve Wright from Greenfort will unpack the completed Liven Beach Road project, including the thinking behind the site, the challenges encountered, and the lessons learned through delivery.

Matt Fedrick from Millbray will provide an early look at an upcoming Fraser Coast development, sharing insight into the site selection, approvals process, and key considerations shaping the project.

Megan Kraft from Stantec will also provide an update on UDIA Queensland’s advocacy work in the over-50s housing space and the issues influencing delivery across the region.

This networking-style lunch will provide time to ask questions, continue conversations with industry colleagues, and connect directly with speakers and experts in the field.

Secure your spot.
