ANDREW Gardiner Law is encouraging more businesses to invest in Nambour as it announces its expansion into the hinterland.

Director Andrew Gardiner, who has prac- ticed law for nearly three decades in Moolo- olaba, decided the addition of the Nambour location would better serve hinterland cli- ents who may prefer to handle their legal matters locally.

“Our firm wants to be a part of the com- munities we service and we believe Nambour will have a strong future if other businesses get behind the town,” Mr Gardiner said. “Nambour was the original business heart of the Sunshine Coast, and I applaud the recent upsurge in support for its reinvigoration.

“By opening a branch office in Nambour, I am proud to help shine a spotlight on this regional centre and its vitality remains crit- ical to the Coast’s economy.”

Member for Fairfax Ted O’Brien – who has been actively working on the revitalisation of Nambour – said this move was a step in the

right direction. “Businesses like Andrew Gar- diner Law are recognising that Nambour’s decade of change is upon us,” he said.

“By expanding into the Nambour market and adding premises to better serve local residents, Andrew is standing alongside other business owners who see the poten- tial in Nambour and want to be present for its evolution.”

Mr O’Brien started the “Reimagine Nam- bour” project which is designed to trans- form the local economy while retaining its distinctive cultural identity in the midst of crime and drug issues.

Joining the Andrew Gardiner Law team at the Nambour office include conveyancing managers and sisters, Jo and Kellie Leis.

The sisters are highly regarded on the Coast for their wealth of knowledge of corporate law and conveyancing, and their strong network of long-standing business relationships. The new office is based at 8 Queen Street, Nambour.
