‘This is the moment for Nambour’: Mayor backs Nambour's economic momentum as ‘tipping point’

Mayor Rosanna Natoli delivered a passionate endorsement of Nambour's economic future at the Nambour Chamber of Commerce meeting on October 2, declaring the town has reached a crucial “tipping point” in its revival.

Speaking to a packed audience at the Nambour Cinema & Events Centre, Mayor Natoli emphasised the unified political support behind the town’s transformation, with state members, councillors and economic development portfolio holders all present to demonstrate their commitment.

“This is the moment for Nambour,” she said. “And we are all 100 percent behind people like Will (developer William Phillips) and those other developments that are lodged or about to be lodged,” Mayor Natoli told the gathering, referencing key development projects that could catalyse broader economic growth.

The Mayor painted a picture of Nambour's potential, comparing it to Brisbane's trendy West End precinct – describing a future that was “alive, vibrant, and a little bit edgy”.

“We want to be the new Nambour of the future,” she said, acknowledging that while love and support were essential, “Nambour needs money” to see real transformation.

Mayor Natoli praised C Square owner and developer William Phillips, the Chamber of Commerce and I am Nambour’s Rhonda Billett, and their teams for driving a vision that would restore Nambour to its former glory, and beyond.

“Once we have that economic flow-through into the town, it will start more. And this is the beginning of something truly amazing.”

Mayor, CEO, developer, business leaders hail ‘tipping point’ for Nambour at Nambour Chamber of Commerce event.

Nambour’s business revival took centre stage at the Chamber of Commerce Coffee Catch Up, where Mayor Rosanna Natoli declared the town had reached a crucial “tipping point” in its future.

Addressing a packed room at the Nambour Cinema & Events Centre, Mayor Natoli said “this is the moment for Nambour”, praising the momentum of private projects such as the C Square redevelopment, unveiled to members for the first time.

She compared Nambour’s potential to Brisbane’s West End, saying the vision was for a town that was “alive, vibrant, and a little bit edgy”.

Joined by Sunshine Coast Council CEO John Baker, the Mayor reinforced council’s commitment to backing local business and attracting further investment.

The event showcased the leadership of developer William Phillips, the Chamber of Commerce and I am Nambour chair Rhonda Billett, who have worked tirelessly to position Nambour as a hub for growth.

“This is the moment for Nambour and we are all 100 percent behind those projects that have been lodged or are about to be lodged,” the Mayor said. “Because we know that Nambour needs this time and needs this love and we also know it needs money. We know you want to see that follow through.”

Inside the bold vision to revitalise Nambour’s CBD

Nambour’s landmark C-Square precinct is in the midst of a multi-million-dollar transformation, with works already underway on what is the largest reinvestment in the site since its original construction.

Sandran Property Group, which acquired the property in 2021, has committed to a complete overhaul of the retail and commercial hub. The upgrade will modernise shopfronts, public spaces and building systems, with new landscaping, façades and accessibility improvements all part of the 12-month construction program.

A new mix of hospitality, retail, commercial and community facilities is planned to complement existing businesses and help re-establish C-Square as a vibrant town centre destination.

Sandran says its commitment is about more than construction. “We believe in the future of Nambour and are proud to play our part in its revitalisation. C-Square will be reimagined as a modern, sustainable, and community-focused precinct that supports local jobs, attracts new businesses, and delivers spaces the whole community can be proud of.”

The redevelopment ties directly into broader efforts to activate the CBD, with business leaders urging Sunshine Coast Council to back private investment with long-overdue public domain improvements.

When complete, the project is expected to give locals and visitors a modern, people-friendly community hub at the very centre of Nambour.

Connecting Community, Highlighting Achievement, Backing Business

The Sunshine Valley Gazette is a locally owned and operated, free community newspaper published fortnightly and circulated throughout the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

This local paper has circulated in the area for more than 20 years, formerly Sunshine Valley News, until it closed in late 2011. Long-time Palmwoods resident, journalist and author, Kerry Brown knew the local paper had been integral in informing, entertaining, connecting and reflecting life in the Hinterland.

So, in early 2012 she revived the paper and gave it 150% effort. Within days the first Sunshine Valley Gazette was published on 7th March. Despite print media challenges the Gazette tripled in size after one edition from a 12 page A4 size paper to a 12 page tabloid paper. The Gazette has continued to grow in circulation, size and popularity; Kerry’s column was appropriately called ‘Just Do It’.

The Gazette is circulated every second Wednesday to letterbox and bulk distribution locations across the Hinterland. Initially circulation was limited to Woombye, Palmwoods and surrounding areas. The local ‘feel good’ content had tremendous appeal and requests to broaden circulation extend into Nambour, Mapleton and Montville then later into Maleny and Yandina.
