A new residential project in Aura will unlock more housing opportunities for the rapidly growing satellite city.

The first land releases for Rivus at Aura, located in Banya, opened on 12 October with residential lots ranging from 350aqm to 600sqm.

Rivus is located next to the newly opened first two stages of the Aura Brook – a vibrant green space with an Enchanted Garden Park and twilight plaza with glowing pathways.

Stockland Development Director, Josh Sondergeld, said Rivus was set to be an “exciting new precinct”.

“The streets have been designed to maximise views of the Brook, reflecting our commitment to building connected, sustainable, and vibrant communities,” Mr. Sondergeld said.

“The combination of direct Brook access, proximity to educational and community facilities including Nirimba State Primary School, a proposed childcare facility, planned neighbourhood centre and thoughtfully designed streetscapes to maximise views of the Aura Brook, makes Rivus a truly unique opportunity.”

Every home in Rivus will be within 400m or less from a park or playground.

“Aura Brook is a key environmental landmark, incorporating innovative water management systems like raingardens and bioretention basins, to enhance our local ecosystem while supporting native Sunshine Coast vegetation,” Mr Sondergeld said.

“Our Enchanted Garden is sure to be a favourite among all ages, featuring glow-in-the-dark aggregate ‘glow stones’ that absorb sunlight during the day and then emit light from dusk, gradually fading over the next six hours.

“The addition of the Rivus land release and Aura Brook really embodies our vision of integrating nature with practical living and convenient access to essential amenities.

Construction on the first home sites is expected to begin in late 2025, with the precinct developed in limited stages.
