LNP Noosa will host a public forum at the opening of The Ridge by Little Cove at Parkridge Noosa.
The venue, run by experienced operator and former rower and triathlete Todd Skipworth, will occupy the former home of celebrity chef Peter Kuruvita’s ALBA by Kuruvita, which closed in 2024.
The public forum, titled “The Future of Noosa: Challenges and Opportunities”, promises to spark thoughtful discussion and local connection.
Event organiser Leigh McCready said she hopes the evening will bring people together to engage constructively on the issues that matter most to Noosa’s future.
“We all love Noosa, but we also know our community faces real challenges — from housing affordability and cost of living pressures to workforce shortages and how we prepare for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games,” Ms McCready said. “This forum is a chance to hear directly from local leaders, ask questions, and be part of shaping solutions.”
The evening’s panel includes Noosa Chamber of Commerce president Ralph Rogers who will discuss the local economy and housing and Lexis English managing director Ian Pratt who will share insights of growing a global business from Noosa and the realities of providing accommodation for workers. Rounding out the panel is former LNP Federal Minister and now Deputy Chair of Sunshine Coast 2032 Mal Brough who will talk on the organisation representing the region in the lead-up to the Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The event will take place on Friday 24 October from 5.30–7.30pm, with tickets just $15, including a drink on arrival and tasty snacks from the new kitchen.
Tickets are available now at trybooking.com/DGJFI. Come along, enjoy the new venue, and be part of the conversation shaping Noosa’s future.
