QM Properties Honours Local Legacy with Naming of ‘Wises Farm’
QM Properties has announced its landmark Sunshine Coast acquisition will continue to be known as Wises Farm, preserving the historic identity of one of the region’s last major land parcels and delivering a residential legacy.
The decision to retain the site’s moniker came after thoughtful consideration by the QM Properties Executive Team, who chose to adopt an employee’s suggestion to keep the name as is.
For QM, it was the obvious choice. The name, Wises Farm, offers instant recognition, carries high regard within the community, and, most importantly, pays homage to the legacy of the site and the Wise family.
QM Properties General Sales Manager, Damien Ross, noted that while the name is unconventional for a modern residential development, the site itself is unique.
“Wises Farm is no ordinary community”, Mr Ross said “The history and prominence of this site has drawn the attention of Sunshine Coast residents, media, and industry professionals for many years. As one of the last major land parcels in the region, it will deliver much-needed housing while honouring the Wise family history and all they did for the community.”
A QM Properties consultant, who worked closely with the Wise family throughout the sale, consulted with them to ensure they were comfortable with the decision.
The announcement follows a unanimous vote by Sunshine Coast councillors to allow the development of 420 dwellings on the property. The plan dedicated over 13 hectares to open space and 1,500sqm for community facilities.
“Across the 420 planned dwellings, we will offer a variety of living options. While there will be a number of 180sqm terrace-style lots, approximately 70% of the estate will feature lot sizes ranging from 275sqm to 600sqm,” Mr Ross said.
“Our goal is to retain as much of the existing bushland, creek, and dam as possible, incorporating them into green spaces for the public. With a central park, public amenities, and extensive walking and bike pathways, we are committed to delivering a high-quality community that can be enjoyed for generations.”
Earthworks construction at Wises Farm is expected to commence in the 3rd quarter of 2026.
