Two iconic Noosa Junction building owners are responding to community calls and business interests by investing in a revamp.
The old Westpac Bank building in Noosa Junction is about to get a serious makeover and Suntop Plaza is set to receive a major facelift, enhancing the streetscape and attracting business.
Westpac Bank owner David Langdon said the building will become known as the Aspire Precinct and include an exciting innovation hub.
“We have been very deliberate in significantly improving the old Westpac building’s facade by using a mix of materials and design elements and we have also included two green walls and a new street tree,” he said.
“Improvements of this type are attractive to new businesses. They want a modern shop front, a progressive style and a business incubator-style fit-out with all the essentials. We try to deliver that.”
Barry Bladon from Blackett Investments said the Suntop Plaza, originally constructed in 1977, will be renamed The Pavilion.
“It will capture a tropical pavilion style with modern design, fit-out and construction and boast 10 shops in a beautiful environment adding a new dimension to The Junction shopping experience,” he said.
Noosa Council said the improvements were approved and consistent with Noosa’s design principles.
The council’s Economic Development Manager Anthony Dow said the council applauded the building owners’ commitment to offering environments that appeal to existing and new businesses in The Junction.
