 The Hub of the Hinterland, Nambour is a major town in the heart of the Sunshine Coast hinterland in Queensland. Nambour has a rich history of being a
‘sugarcane town’ & was the centre of the agricultural & commercial activities in the area. It enjoys a wonderful climate, with easy access by road & rail. Nambour is the administrative headquarters of the
Sunshine Coast Regional Council. Nambour has recently been identified as a Major Activity Centre, designated in the SEQ Regional Plan & has some very exciting years ahead.
Following the closure of the Moreton Sugar Mill in 2003, Nambour has been on a path of reinvention, renewal & revitalisation. There is a growing
confidence amongst business operators due to announcements of exciting, substantial redevelopments within the CBD & adjacent areas. (23 new retail, dining & service-based
businesses opened their doors in Nambour CBD in between July & Dec 2008) The redeveloped Moreton Sugar Mill site is expected to house a large shopping precinct, government offices, inner
-city style housing, medical, educational, entertainment & sporting facilities & a transport hub, set around parkland incorporating Petrie Creek. Sunshine Coast Regional Council intends the
redevelopment to be a mixed-use, vibrant area which will complement the existing town centre.
