New Home Builds in Forest Glen, designed around your lifestyle
Building at Forest Glen means working with the western foothills of Buderim Mountain, bushland acreage, tank water and on-site sewerage, and planning rules that keep houses low and unobtrusive.
Reliable home building you can trust on the Sunshine Coast
Forest Glen sits inland on the foothills and western slopes of Buderim Mountain, with the Bruce Highway along its western boundary. The eastern side is rolling to hilly ground cut by ridgelines and drainage lines, flattening out toward the Eudlo Creek plain. Most homes are single dwellings on bushland acreage, with a small local centre and light industry pocket off Mons Road. A build here starts with slope, trees and services.
Sunshine Coast Council assesses Forest Glen under its Forest Glen, Kunda Park and Tanawha local plan. Soils run from red basalt off the Buderim foothills to alluvial ground near Eudlo Creek, so get a site classification early. Check each lot for the landslide hazard and steep land overlay, which starts at 15 per cent grade, plus bushfire and flood hazard. Height is set lot by lot, and the plan wants low-rise houses that sit lightly in the landscape.

Frequently asked about New Home Builds in Forest Glen
Answers to the questions we hear most about design options, timelines, budgets, approvals and the overall building process.
It varies with the block, so we set the programme once we have a site classification and the overlay position. The order is what matters. Design and documentation come first, then approvals, then construction. A Forest Glen acreage build usually needs building approval plus a Sunshine Coast Council on-site sewerage approval, and a development application where the landslide and steep land, bushfire or height overlays are triggered. Sloping bushland sites and long driveways add time on site.
Yes. Our services are fully tailored to your lifestyle, block requirements, design preferences and functional needs. We work closely with you to create a personalised home design that reflects how you want to live, maximising comfort, practicality and visual appeal while making the most of your block and the Sunshine Coast climate.
Because the details here are local ones. The Forest Glen, Kunda Park and Tanawha local plan asks for understated colours, low-reflective roofing and cladding, articulated roof forms and retained mature trees, and it sets landscape buffers along Mons Road, Owen Creek Road and the Bruce Highway. Add tank water, on-site sewerage and a dedicated firefighting supply, and there is plenty to settle before design starts. Tom Roebuck has more than 20 years in residential construction.
Yes. Our team delivers solutions for a wide range of residential projects, including family homes, luxury custom homes, coastal retreats, modern contemporary residences and investment properties throughout Forest Glen and the wider Sunshine Coast. Every project is designed from the ground up to suit your site, budget and the way you want to live.
Yes. Much of Forest Glen is sloping bushland on the Buderim foothills, cut by ridgelines and drainage lines, so split levels, pier footings and stepped slabs are normal rather than exceptional. Where the landslide hazard and steep land overlay applies we bring a geotechnical engineer in early. On the flatter Eudlo Creek ground the questions change to drainage, fill and flood levels. Access for concrete trucks up a long bush driveway is worth checking too.
