Sippy Downs.

Tucked inland from the Sunshine Coast’s iconic beaches, Sippy Downs is a popular, master-planned suburb known for its education, convenience and strong sense of community. Its name is believed to originate from the Aboriginal word “Dhippi” (meaning bird), a nod to the area's rich natural landscape, now featuring lakes, parks and walking trails that draw locals outdoors.

Home to the University of the Sunshine Coast’s main campus, Sippy Downs attracts a diverse mix of students, families and professionals. It's a suburb that’s grown with intent – featuring well-designed residential estates, established homes on spacious blocks, townhouses and low-maintenance units. Retirees are also well catered for with modern retirement communities. Streets like Albany Street and Edgewater Place are particularly sought-after, offering lakefront positions and wide-open outlooks.

Daily life here is easy and well-connected. Locals enjoy shopping and services at Chancellor Park Marketplace, casual eats at top spots like Junk, Bower Tree and Coast Dumplings, and community events at the ever-popular Chancellor Tavern. Education is a key drawcard, with highly regarded schools including Chancellor State College and Siena Catholic College.

With its strategic location close to the Bruce Highway and just 15 minutes to Mooloolaba, Sippy Downs offers lifestyle, accessibility and long-term growth – all within a welcoming modern setting.
