Maroochydore City Centre
Australia’s newest CBD has come alive with music and colour as thousands lined up recently to be among the first to walk through the gateway to the newly-opened Maroochydore City Centre site.
The Maroochydore City Centre site will be home to a 21st century smart city where environmental sensors will monitor temperature, pollution or pollen levels and send alerts when changes are detected – making the city more liveable for residents and visitors. Head to council’s website for more information.
