Maroochydore, Coastal town in Sunshine Coast Region, Australia
Located at an elevation of 6 meters, Maroochydore extends along the Maroochy River with beaches that attract water sports enthusiasts throughout the year.
The town emerged from a subdivision of Cotton Tree reserve in 1903, taking its name from the Yuggera word Muru-kutchi, referring to black swans.
The Maroochydore Multi Sports Complex holds regular sporting events while the central district features art galleries and performance venues for local talents.
The Sunshine Coast Airport connects Maroochydore to major cities, while local bus routes operated by Kinetic Group link neighboring suburbs and coastal areas.
The town maintains its beaches through annual dredging programs, with canals constructed between the late 1970s and early 1990s creating waterfront residential areas.
