Bronwen Stacey
Buyers agent - Qualified Property Investment Adviser® - Noosa local
"I've lived on the Sunshine Coast since 2013 and have spent years helping people make one of the biggest decisions that comes with moving here - where to actually live."
Bron is an experienced buyers agent and a Qualified Property Investment Adviser® on the Coast. Growing up, her family had Sunshine Coast homes from the 1980s onwards - from Noosa to Caloundra - and she moved to Noosa from Brisbane 15 years ago, giving her a long-standing knowledge of the different areas of the Coast.
She has a young family, and her husband is a teacher, so her focus is on sharing local knowledge with families also looking to move - schools, commutes, which pockets actually suit family life, and what to check before you commit.
That local experience shapes the "A local's take" notes you'll see across this site.
Who is behind this site?
Moving to Sunshine Coast is a local relocation resource created by the team behind Home Scouts, an independent buyers agency helping people purchase property across the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Brisbane.
How we compare suburbs
We don't believe there's one "best" suburb. We look at every area through the same six lenses: lifestyle, budget, commute, schools, property type and long-term practicality. See the suburb comparison →
How content is reviewed
Factual guidance is checked against Queensland Government, local council, Translink and school information. We show trade-offs rather than declaring one suburb right for everyone, and we date reviewed content so you know when it was last checked.
Verify the address
Catchments, flood overlays, timetables, planning approvals, prices and insurance can change. Always confirm important details for the exact property with the responsible authority and your qualified advisers. General guides are educational, not personal legal, financial or property advice.
