Gins, brews and business

The Noosaville Business Association (NBA) has kicked off a wave of long-overdue energy and promotion throughout the Noosaville Industrial Precinct – and the response from the community has been nothing short of electric.

Over the past month, two sold-out events have put a spotlight on the incredible businesses hidden right here in our own backyard. The latest Business After Five (BA5), hosted at the award-winning Seabourne Distillery, was a standout celebration of local craftsmanship. Members and guests were treated to a true “taste of the coast” with world-class gins, delicious food, and great company.

For more than 80 per cent of attendees, it was their very first visit – and the overwhelming response was, “How did we not know this place existed?!” Seabourne’s team showcased exactly why they’re earning national recognition, and many guests are already planning their return visit.

But the momentum didn’t stop there.

Last Thursday marked the launch of NBA’s first Good Morning Noosaville Sunrise Social – a brand-new “Coffee Connect” style event designed to bring the business community together before the workday starts. Held at the vibrant Affinity Coffee Collective, attendees talked business over brews thanks to free coffees proudly sponsored by Bank of Queensland (BOQ) Noosaville.

Across both events, venues were bustling, conversations flowed, and it was clear just how many incredible businesses are thriving within the precinct – many of them still undiscovered by locals. These events were a powerful reminder that Noosaville is home to innovation, creativity, and some truly exceptional hidden gems.
