Lifestyle destinations draw migrants in with a promise of certain place encounters. However, these place encounters are likely to change over time, particularly with increased amenity migration and associated development. In this article, I consider the lifestyle destination settlement of Maroochydore and surrounding suburbs in the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Plans to build a central business district (CBD) have been approved, with the local council aiming to build infrastructure for growing populations. However, these plans may jeopardise the imaginary of Maroochydore as a quiet sea change idyll that draws lifestyle migrants and tourists to the area. In order to understand the potential impact of a CBD to migrants' place encounters, I interviewed 34 migrants of different ages and life stages to Maroochydore and surrounds (the Maroochy area) as part of a larger study. I used narrative, visual, and virtual visitation methods to explore their prior place‐based experiences and current encounters with the area. Housing form and density were the most discussed material components related to the CBD, likely because of fears that high‐rise buildings affect an imagined coastal lifestyle. Employment and transport were the most discussed day‐to‐day practices potentially affected by the CBD. Participants thought the CBD positively affected public transport services but had little effect on future employment opportunities. The challenges discussed in this article have implications for how lifestyle communities manage and maintain positive place encounters, balancing the realities of growing development with idyllic expectations.

一个生活方式目的地的移民encounter：从沿海田园诗到活跃的城市

生活方式目的地吸引了一定的地方相遇的移民。但是，这些地方的相遇可能会随着时间而改变，尤其是随着便利设施迁移和相关发展的增加。在本文中，我考虑了澳大利亚昆士兰州阳光海岸的Maroochydore及其周边郊区的生活方式目的地定居点。建立中央商务区（CBD）的计划已获得批准，地方议会的目的是为不断增长的人口建立基础设施。但是，这些计划可能会危及Maroochydore的想象，因为这是一种安静的海变田园，将生活方式的移民和游客吸引到该地区。为了了解《生物多样性公约》对移民安置的潜在影响，作为较大研究的一部分，我采访了34位年龄和生命阶段不同的移民到Maroochydore及其周围地区（Maroochy地区）。我使用叙事，视觉和虚拟参观方法来探索他们以前在该地区的基于经验的经历和当前与该地区的相遇。住房形式和密度是与《生物多样性公约》相关的讨论最多的物质组成部分，这可能是由于担心高层建筑会影响想象中的沿海生活方式。就业和运输是受到《生物多样性公约》影响最大的日常实践。与会者认为，《生物多样性公约》对公共交通服务产生了积极影响，但对未来的就业机会影响不大。本文讨论的挑战对生活方式社区如何管理和维持正面的地方接触产生了影响，
