Council sets up new Nambour venue
A new community space is now available for hire in the heart of Nambour, offering a versatile and accessible space for small events, meetings and workshops.
As part of the upgrades to the ground floor of the Eddie De Vere building in Nambour, Namba Meeting Place accommodates up to 30 people and is managed by Sunshine Coast Council’s experienced Community Venues team.
The venue is part of Council’s broader vision to transform the Nambour administration building precinct into a more community-focused space.
Sunshine Coast Council Community Portfolio and Divisional Councillor David Law welcomed the opening of Namba Meeting Place as another important step in revitalising the town centre.
“This space reflects Nambour’s identity as a place of connection, providing a low-cost and accessible venue right in the town centre,” Cr Law said.
“The name ‘Namba’ acknowledges the area’s rich First Nations history referring to the red-flowering tea-tree (Callistemon viminalis) and many people appreciate this respectful name for our community.
“It is exciting to see this first stage of the transformation come to life, helping to create a vibrant and welcoming hub for our community.”
Namba Meeting Place joins a portfolio of six other community venues stretching from Coolum to Kawana Forest, ensuring a range of options for locals seeking a flexible and well-equipped space.
With a kitchenette, shared amenities, and presentation facilities, the self-service venue is available to book from 6am to 8pm, seven days per week.
