Eildon Capital Group proposes gym for new Moreton Bay shopping centre

A ‘high quality’ gym is being proposed by Eildon Capital Group to join Bunnings, Chemist Warehouse and more at new $80 million Moreton Bay shopping centre.

According to the Courier Mail, Eildon Capital Group has lodged the application for a 1,500 sqm gym at 459 Pumicestone Road, Caboolture, the site of the $80 million Sungate Business Park, with the precinct’s grand opening on 18th November.

The 15ha development, located next to the Bruce Highway will have 15 tenancies including: Coles, Chemist Warehouse, PetStock, an Indian restaurant, Japanese restaurant, KFC, nail salon, hair salon and spa, bakery and discount store.

As reported in the Courier Mail, the development application reads the ‘high quality’ gym would include space for cardio, circuit training, weights as well as a functional training space.

The gym would provide wellbeing facilities for members which includes hydrotherapy, a wellness room, spray room, total body fitness assessment rooms and massage rooms.

The gym is proposed to be open 24/7, with 120 carparks to service the gym and neighbouring shops.

“The proposed gym will contribute towards the range of activities and services provided for within the area, contributing to the growth of the region,’ the application reads.

“The current rates of provision for gyms are one for every 4,000 people. This rate of provision has doubled over the past nine years as the wider health and fitness industry has continued to grow.

“With 11 gyms in the catchment and a population of 55,783 people in 2021, there is currently an undersupply of approximately three gyms.

“Over the next decade the population of the catchment is expected to grow by nearly 12,000 people, resulting in demand for an additional three gyms in this area.”

The business park will service the growing community of Elimbah and Moreton Bay.
