Mott MacDonald celebrates new Sunshine Coast office in heart of new city centre

Expanding Sunshine Coast presence with new Maroochydore office

Global engineering, management and development consultancy Mott MacDonald is expanding its presence on the Sunshine Coast, relocating its Maroochydore team into Walker Corporation’s new 50 First Avenue. The move reflects the company’s continued growth in Australia, strengthening its ability to support clients across the Sunshine Coast and wider Queensland region.

The new office is designed as a modern workspace that supports collaboration, flexibility and a healthy work-life balance while enabling teams to bring together global expertise and local insight to deliver benefits for clients and the community.

Since establishing and expanding its presence on the Sunshine Coast in 2024, Mott MacDonald has been involved in key regional projects, including The Wave – Stage 1 (rail), The Wave Stage 3 (metro) and Borumba Pumped Hydro Project. This work reflects the company’s role in shaping the region’s infrastructure for a growing population.

Frances Badelow, Mott MacDonald’s managing director for Australia, said: “Our teams have partnered with clients on the Sunshine Coast for many years. This new office strengthens our local presence and enhances our ability to deliver leading services across transport, energy, buildings and water infrastructure.”

Dan Caldwell, Mott MacDonald’s state manager for Queensland, added: “Our presence on the Sunshine Coast has allowed us to work more closely with clients, partners and communities, while enabling our people to live and work locally. This has supported wellbeing and a stronger connection to the region. We are committed to contributing to the Sunshine Coast’s growth and look forward to the opportunities this new space creates for our people, our clients and the wider community.”
