A treehouse-inspired home, a reimagined railway shed and lush landscaped gardens are among the highlights of a vibrant program showcasing the Sunshine Coast’s most fascinating buildings and gardens.
Sunshine Coast Open House 2025 opens to the public from October 10 to 19.
You are invited to explore the spaces that shape our region, while celebrating buildings that adapt to climate, honour heritage and inspire community.
The festival culminates in the main Open House weekend on October 18 and 19, offering rare access to more than 30 properties.
This year’s theme, “resilience”, runs through every element of the program from heritage walks and garden tours to new builds that showcase sustainable design and local character.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the event was a celebration of the region’s unique identity and design legacy.
“From historic treasures that tell the stories of our past, to bold new buildings shaping our future, Sunshine Coast Open House is a celebration of the places that make the Sunshine Coast unique,” Mayor Natoli said.
“Resilience isn’t just a theme. It reflects how our buildings, communities and landscapes continue to evolve with care, creativity and purpose.
“This special weekend is an invitation to step inside some of the most intriguing, beautiful and surprising spaces across our region.”
The passionate Sunshine Coast Open House Committee continues to work with Councils, local businesses and industry to deliver this free, community-led event.
Sunshine Coast Open House is part of the Open House Worldwide network, founded by Open House London in 1992 and now held in more than 60 cities around the world.
