★★★★★I can’t recommend Erin highly enough. Although things ultimately didn’t proceed, Erin went so far above and beyond to help me, and I’m genuinely so grateful for the time, care and knowledge she gave me. She was incredibly kind, patient and supportive, and always took the time to explain everything and answer my questions. Her guidance made such a difference during what was a stressful and uncertain time for me. It’s so lovely to come across a small local firm that genuinely cares about their clients and goes the extra mile to help. Erin is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but truly cares about the people she helps. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

★★★★★Erin was an absolute standout on the Sunshine Coast in assisting with our mutual sellers’ sale of their home. As a Solicitor, and we deal with many, her professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, and clear communication were exceptional throughout the entire process. Erin was a pleasure to work alongside and made the legal side of the transaction seamless and straightforward for everyone involved. Her prompt communication and proactive approach were greatly appreciated, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for our mutual clients. I would have no hesitation in recommending Erin to anyone looking for an outstanding Solicitor in the sale of their home. She is a true professional and an absolute asset to her clients.

Conveyancing in Aura — the short answer
Coastside Law does conveyancing in Aura — Baringa, Nirimba, Banya and Bells Creek — from our office at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach QLD 4551, about ten minutes from the estate, so Aura conveyancing and conveyancing Aura are handled locally by an admitted solicitor rather than a processing centre. The fee is fixed: $990 inclusive of GST on a residential sale and $1,499 inclusive of GST on a purchase — the same fee for a new release off-the-plan lot, a house and land package or a first resale — plus searches, transfer duty and registration fees at cost and quoted in writing first. Because almost every Aura file is a new-estate file, we read the developer's contract, the sunset date and plan variation rights, the estate covenant (build timeframes, materials and colours, fencing, driveways and landscaping), the disclosure plan and the community management statement before you commit, and we advise on when transfer duty falls due on an unregistered lot. Erin Wilkinson acts for local buyers and sellers; Michael Klein, Legal Practice Director, has been admitted since 2003. Contract review before you sign is free, settlement runs electronically through PEXA, and there is no professional fee if a reviewed contract terminates before it becomes binding. Call 0488 340 853.

Why Aura clients use a solicitor, not a conveyancing factory
A solicitor, not a processing centre
Your file is run by an admitted Queensland solicitor who can give you legal advice on the contract, not a paralegal in a call centre who can only move paperwork.
Local, not national
We work from the peninsula and the Sunshine Coast. We know the councils, the overlays, the body corporates and the local agents — because we deal with them every week.
Fixed fees, quoted in writing
No 'from' pricing that grows at settlement. You get the professional fee in writing before we start, with searches and government fees itemised.
Free contract review before you sign
Send the contract through and we will read it and tell you what needs changing — at no cost and with no obligation to instruct us.
Residential sale
$990

Residential purchase

Aura is Australia's largest master-planned community, and conveyancing here is a different exercise from buying an established home. Nearly every file is a developer contract, a house and land package, an off-the-plan lot in a new release, or a first resale of a home only a few years old. The risk sits in the paperwork rather than the bricks.
House and land buyers sign two contracts. The land contract settles on plan registration, the building contract runs for a year or more afterwards, and finance has to cover both. We read the land contract, check the sunset date and the developer's right to vary the plan or the lot dimensions, and diarise every notification period so you are not caught by a deadline you never saw.
The Aura covenant is the part buyers most often skip. It sets build commencement and completion timeframes, approved external materials and colours, driveway, fencing and landscaping standards, and restrictions on parking and storage. It binds you after settlement and it is enforceable, so we tell you in plain terms what it will require before you sign.
What we check on a Aura contract
Developer contracts and sunset dates
Sunset dates, plan variation and lot re-dimension rights, disclosure plans and your termination rights — checked and diarised, not skimmed.
The Aura covenant
Build timeframes, materials and colours, fencing, driveways and landscaping. We set out what you are agreeing to before the covenant becomes your problem.
Transfer duty timing on off-the-plan lots
When duty falls due on a lot that has not yet registered, and how the home concession and first home concessions apply to a house and land purchase.
Contract review before you sign
We read the contract, the disclosure statement and any special conditions before you commit. Once signed, your options narrow to the cooling-off period and whatever conditions are already in the document.
Critical dates managed
Cooling-off, building and pest, finance and settlement dates are diarised and chased. Most disputes we are asked to fix started as a missed or badly worded extension.
Settlement through PEXA
Electronic settlement with funds and title transferring online, adjustments for rates, water and body corporate levies calculated and checked.
Off-the-plan and house and land conveyancing in Aura
New release lots in Aura come with contracts written by the developer's lawyers for the developer's benefit. We check the sunset date and extension rights, the developer's ability to change the plan or the lot dimensions, the disclosure plan, the notification periods and what happens to your deposit if the release does not proceed. On house and land, we make sure the land contract and the building contract line up with your finance approval.
Buying a first resale in Baringa, Nirimba or Banya
Homes only a few years old still carry the covenant, and the builder's warranty position, incomplete landscaping and defect rectification are all worth dealing with in the contract rather than after settlement. Where the lot sits in a community title scheme we read the levies, sinking fund and by-laws as well.
Selling in Aura — the Form 2 seller disclosure
Since 1 August 2025 a Queensland seller must give a completed Form 2 disclosure statement, with the prescribed certificates attached, before the contract is signed. We prepare it as part of the $990 inclusive of GST sale fee so a paperwork defect does not hand your buyer a termination right on the eve of settlement.
Local, and close by
Our office is at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach, about ten minutes from Aura. Erin Wilkinson lives locally and acts for buyers and sellers across the estate; Michael Klein has acted on Queensland property since 2003. You deal with the person doing the work.

Aura conveyancing questions
What is a sunset date in an Aura off-the-plan contract?
It is the long-stop date by which the plan must register and the contract must settle. If registration has not happened by then, one or both parties can usually terminate. Developers frequently reserve rights to extend it, so we check who can terminate, on what notice, and what happens to your deposit.
Do you review the building contract as well as the land contract?
The land and the build are separate contracts with separate risks and finance usually has to cover both. The land contract is reviewed as part of the fixed fee, and we flag the building contract terms that cause the most trouble — progress payments, variations, prime cost and provisional sums, and completion dates.
When do I pay transfer duty on an off-the-plan lot in Aura?
Duty is generally assessed on the contract and payable within 30 days of the contract becoming unconditional or of settlement, depending on how the contract is structured. On an unregistered lot that can be well before you get the keys, so we set out the timing and any home or first home concession that applies before you commit.
How much is conveyancing in Aura?
$990 inclusive of GST on a sale and $1,499 inclusive of GST on a purchase — the same fixed professional fee whether it is a new release lot, a house and land package or a first resale. Searches and government fees are third-party costs quoted in writing before you engage us.
Who does conveyancing in Aura?
Coastside Law does. We are a solicitor-run Queensland practice with offices at 40 Theresa Street, Golden Beach and on the Redcliffe Peninsula, acting for buyers and sellers in Aura on fixed fees ($990 for a sale, $1,499 for a purchase, both inclusive of GST). Call 0488 340 853 or send us the contract before you sign it.
How much does conveyancing cost in Aura?
Our fixed professional fee is $990 inclusive of GST for a residential sale and $1,499 inclusive of GST for a residential purchase. Searches, registration fees and transfer duty are additional third-party or government charges, and we set them out in writing before you engage us.
Solicitor or conveyancer — does it matter in Queensland?
Queensland does not licence non-lawyer conveyancers the way New South Wales and Victoria do; a property transfer here is legal work done by a law practice. The difference shows up when a file turns awkward — a caveat, a deceased estate on the title, a family transfer with a duty question, a contract that needs terminating. We deal with all of it in-house rather than referring you on.
What about the seller disclosure statement?
Since 1 August 2025 a seller must give the buyer a completed Form 2 seller disclosure statement, with the prescribed certificates attached, before the contract is signed. Get it wrong and the buyer may be able to terminate right up to settlement. We prepare the Form 2 for sellers and check it carefully for buyers.
Do I have to come into an office?
No. Queensland residential settlements run electronically through PEXA, so there is no cheque handover. You complete a verification of identity and sign a client authorisation, and the file runs from there. Our peninsula office at 15 Fortune Street, Scarborough QLD 4020 is available by appointment if you would rather meet in person.
Send us the contract before you sign
