About Nirimba

Nirimba is a new and rapidly growing suburb in the Sunshine Coast Region of Queensland, established in 2019 as part of the broader Aura masterplanned community west of Caloundra. Located approximately 83 kilometres north of Brisbane, Nirimba had already grown to a population of 2,229 by the 2021 Census — a remarkable figure for a suburb less than two years old at that time. The area attracts young families and first-home buyers seeking a contemporary Sunshine Coast lifestyle within a planned, modern residential environment.

As part of the Aura development — one of Australia's largest masterplanned communities — Nirimba is being built with integrated parklands, shared pathways, community facilities and landscaped open space. The Sunshine Coast's beaches, national parks and hinterland attractions are within easy reach, and the established township of Caloundra is approximately 26 kilometres to the north-east. The suburb is currently car-dependent, with private transport the primary means of getting around while infrastructure and transport links continue to mature alongside ongoing development.

Nirimba falls under postcode 4551 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Kawana electorate.
