20 Years of Coulson Operations

Founded and led by Bruce and Carolyne Coulson, Coulson Operations (est.2006) marks 20 years of building, owning and managing properties with a true purpose. As a family-owned business, the company has grown over two decades through a commitment to quality, long-term thinking and creating spaces that genuinely serve the people and communities within them.

From its beginnings to today, every project reflects the same core focus of passion, precision and purpose. This approach has shaped a diverse portfolio of thoughtfully designed properties that support learning, business and connection.

A Family-Owned Vision

As a family-owned business, Coulson Operations is driven by a genuine passion for creating high-quality spaces with intent. Under the leadership and vision of Bruce and Carolyne Coulson, the business specialises in the design, ownership and management of childcare centres and diverse set of commercial properties, ensuring consistency and excellence across every project.

This hands-on approach allows us to remain closely connected to our values while maintaining full oversight of design, quality and operations.

Innovation in Early Childhood Education

Our flagship childcare brand, Kool Beanz, alongside co-branded partnerships with the Gold Coast SUNS and Western Bulldogs, reflects our commitment to innovation in early childhood education.

Each centre is designed with purpose, care and local connection in mind, creating environments where children feel supported to learn and grow.

Strength Through In-House Expertise

Beyond childcare, Coulson Operations oversees a broad portfolio of commercial and residential assets. Dedicated in-house teams across finance, human resources, maintenance, architecture and design, marketing and property management allow us to maintain control across every stage of development and operation.

This integrated structure ensures consistency, accountability and a high standard of delivery across all projects.

Looking Ahead

As Coulson Operations continues to expand across Queensland, Northern NSW and soon Victoria, our focus remains unchanged. We are committed to delivering thoughtfully designed, high-quality spaces that make a lasting impact.

As we celebrate 20 years of Coulson Operations, this commitment remains at the heart of our growth.
