Locals welcoming locals in Moreton Bay

A new energy is stirring in Burpengary East as Living Gems Moreton Bay begins to take its place along Buckley Road. This contemporary over-50s lifestyle resort is set to reshape community living in the area — and for Sales Consultant Jodie Stieper, there’s a special pride in seeing it evolve right in her community. 

Jodie has called Burpengary East home for more than two decades. When she and her family first arrived, they were looking for room to grow, an authentic country feel, and a location that balanced peaceful living with convenience. With easy access to beaches, highways, Brisbane Airport, and thriving local hubs, they quickly discovered a community with heart — where locals support homegrown businesses, events, and one another. 

Starting out in the travel industry before moving into real estate, construction, and wildlife conservation, Jodie has gathered a global perspective — but it’s helping people that’s remained constant. Her studies in interior design revealed a love of creating spaces where comfort and style meet, and that passion now shines through in her role helping new homeowners bring their lifestyle dreams to life at Living Gems Moreton Bay.

Surrounded by natural beauty — from the protected waters of Moreton Bay Marine Park to rivers, walking tracks, and nearby Bribie Island — the setting naturally complements a lifestyle centred on connection, wellbeing, and choice. With local cafes, shopping centres, and medical facilities all within easy reach, Living Gems Moreton Bay is in a location like no other.  

Living Gems Moreton Bay provides over 50s a lifestyle that is built around freedom, security and community. It’s a lifestyle upgrade without maintenance of a big house, nor a sky-high price tag. Thanks to its land lease model, homes at Living Gems come at an affordable entry price and skips on stamp duty and exit fees, giving homeowners financial transparency. 

The resort will feature 186 architecturally designed homes and a vibrant suite of resort-style amenities, all within a secure gated community. At its heart is a $13 million Country Club, complete with an indoor pool, cinema, and tennis precinct — designed as the social heartbeat of the neighbourhood. Resort facilities are right on residents’ doorstep, offering a unique and enjoyable way of living, with opportunities to socialise, attend events, and build friendships – without the need to travel. “Every homeowner can choose how much or how little they want to be involved,” Jodie explains. “I love the flexibility the resort offers. They can enjoy it all while being in a welcoming community environment.”

For Jodie, Living Gems Moreton Bay is a reflection of everything she values about the place she’s proud to call home — a beautiful natural setting, genuine people, and the effortless charm of Queensland living. 

Asked what excites her most about the project, she smiles. “I am enthusiastic about being part of a family-run business that offers a lifestyle change built around freedom, security, and community for over-50s.”
