The resort, planned for Gillian Street with frontage to the Caboolture River, has received the green light to proceed with residential building on the bayside property.
The development will occupy a site that includes an existing 1.1-hectare artificial lake with a tidal connection to the river. More than 52 hectares of surrounding wetlands along the Caboolture River will be revegetated and transferred to council ownership as part of the project.
Developer GemLife, which already operates three other over-50s resorts in the Moreton Bay region at Elimbah, Burpengary and Bribie Island, is behind the Beachmere Waters project.
The project includes $15.5 million allocated for on-site amenities and more than $2.5 million for local road improvements. Infrastructure upgrades will include new turning lanes and widening portions of Beachmere Road.
Residents will have access to a country club, swimming pool, cinema, community hall, bar and café, hair salon, golf simulator, lawn bowls green, art room and dance floor. Walking and cycling trails will wind through the property, providing access to the natural areas.

The homes are designed with two bedrooms plus a multipurpose room, focusing on low-maintenance living. The 335-home development represents a significant residential project for the area. The environmental component includes revegetation and handover of more than 80 percent of the total site area to council. The preservation of the existing lake and its tidal connection maintains the site’s ecological features.
Site preparation and revegetation works will precede residential construction. The project involves construction of 335 homes over the coming years, bringing new households to the Beachmere area.
