Pinnacle: 'This is a game changer' for Nambour
Things are looking up: Gavin Wuiske and agent Frenchy Devos at Pinnacle on Maud, heralding a new era for Nambour CBD living.

The first residents have moved in to a unit complex being described as a game-changer for Nambour.
The 40-unit multi-storey Pinnacle on Maud complex on Maud Street is the biggest unit complex of its kind to be built in the town.
Its completion is the culmination of five years of work for Grandview Developments, which found itself breaking new ground with the council and lenders as there were no comparable complexes in town.
About 80 percent of units at Pinnacle on Maud, Maud Street, have settled and the new owners and tenants have begun shuffling in furniture and introducing themselves.
Grandview Developments general man- ager Gavin Wuiske said the real estate boom meant that owners who had signed up for units early had realised valuation increases of up to $100,000 before they even took the keys.
Gavin said modern, two-bedroom units of Pinnacle on Maud, within walking distances of shops, offices and the Nambour entertain- ment precinct, offered a new style of living in Nambour.
He said it was exciting time for the town, which had a lot to be positive about, including the tram, the Big Pineapple revamp, the growth of Wildlife HQ zoo, and the designation of an entertainment precinct in town.
“These 40 units coming to fruition will be a shot in the arm to the local businesses such as restaurants, shops, bars and cinemas having increased patronage from new residents within a walkable distance.
“The live music and entertainment precinct will also be able to capitalise on an increased audience.”
Gavin said he hoped the completion of Pinnacle on Maud would give others the confi- dence to proceed with major developments in Nambour.
“Given time, now that one significant private enterprise development has been delivered Nambour on a similar scale to what the near to the coast communities enjoy, Nambour deserves more projects such as this to follow within the Nambour CBD footprint,” he said.
