AUSMAR: House Builders Making a Difference on the Sunshine Coast

Written by Kate Dunn | April 1, 2025

Looking for reputable house builders on the Sunshine Coast? AUSMAR not only constructs beautiful homes but also builds stronger communities. As leading house builders on the Sunshine Coast, we believe in giving back, and our long-standing partnership with Wishlist is a testament to that commitment.

Since 2011, AUSMAR has partnered with the Sunshine Coast Health Foundation - Wishlist - to make a tangible difference in the lives of local residents. This collaboration has resulted in a series of impactful projects that have transformed healthcare and community support on the Sunshine Coast.

House the Coast Built: A Legacy of Support

Our flagship initiative, "House the Coast Built," has become a symbol of our dedication as house builders on the Sunshine Coast who care. This project, which has seen several iterations since its inception, showcases the power of collective generosity.

  • 2011: The First House: The inaugural "House the Coast Built" project in 2011 laid the foundation for our ongoing partnership with Wishlist. This first home, built with the support of local trades and suppliers, raised significant funds for Wishlist, enabling them to invest in vital medical equipment and services for the Sunshine Coast community.

  • 2015 & 2020: Continuing the Legacy: Building on the success of the first project, AUSMAR and Wishlist came together again in 2015 and 2020 to construct two more beautiful homes. Each project saw increased community engagement and fundraising, further solidifying our commitment to improving local healthcare. These houses not only provided much-needed funds for Wishlist but also served as tangible examples of what can be achieved when a community works together.

  • Beyond the Build: The impact of "House the Coast Built" extends far beyond the financial contributions. These projects have fostered a sense of community, inspiring others to get involved and support Wishlist's mission. They have also helped to raise awareness of the vital role that Wishlist plays in providing healthcare services on the Sunshine Coast.

Wishlist Centre & Wishlist House Gympie: Expanding the Reach

Our partnership with Wishlist has also contributed to the development of vital infrastructure:

  • Wishlist Centre (2021): This facility provides accommodation for patients and their families who need to travel to the Sunshine Coast for medical treatment. AUSMAR played a key role in the construction of this centre, ensuring that families have a comfortable and supportive environment during a challenging time.

  • Wishlist House Gympie (Under Construction): We're building something exciting in Gympie! For the first time, AUSMAR is constructing a charity home for Wishlist in this region. Proceeds from the sale of Wishlist House Gympie will have a significant impact on local healthcare, including:

    • Vital Transport Service: Funding a transport service to connect Gympie locals with specialist care on the Sunshine Coast.
    • Butterfly Suite: Creating a compassionate space in Gympie Hospital's Maternity Unit for women experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal loss.
    • Treatment Chairs: Purchasing treatment chairs for Gympie Hospital's Ambulatory Care unit.
    • Biplane Unit Support: Contributing to the Biplane Unit for critical stroke treatment.
    • Wishlist Reed House: Supporting Wishlist Reed House, which provides affordable accommodation for Gympie patients needing specialist hospital care.
