A COMMUNITY FORGED ON TOGETHERNESS

Aerial View of Peregian Beach in the 1960s

P

eregian Beach is a potent mix of salty breezes and sophistication, with visitors intoxicated by the refreshing vibe and locals proud to call this place home. It’s a town where sandy toes and a sarong are just as at home as a sleek and savvy outfit.

Driving the impressive coastal road south from Noosa provides an insight into the town’s humble beginnings. When tourist development started on the Coast in the 1950s Peregian Beach was put on the map, with the road running through what would eventually become the town centre.

While there are more roads on the map these days commercial development has remained subdued allowing the area to retain a quaint beachside village feel, despite its growing popularity.

VILLAGE VIBES GUIDE - 4

This atmosphere has been created by virtue of the community who make it such a special place.

Valuing connection over commerce and banding together is what locals do best. And it’s what’s seen the town thrive over the years, even in the face of adversity.

Garnering international interest and support in 2019, Peregian Beach is perhaps most well-known for the devastating bushfires that ravaged the community in September of that year. When the flames threatened the town the connection this close-knit community has forged was permanently fused rather than unravelled.

As the fires grew increasingly out of control neighbours checked in with each other,

Barbora Tomikova, State of Emergency

...people have returned to the Village Square... lending a hand where possible and providing shelter for those in need. And when cleanup began it was a collaborative effort with residents pitching in where they could to help the town get back on its feet.

Thanks to the hard work of the fire crews and emergency services, incredibly only one house was lost. Everyone who witnessed this impactful moment in Peregian Beach’s history knows that if the fire crews didn’t act as fast and efficiently as they did, the outcome could have been much worse.

One year on the community came together

to commemorate the bushfires, holding an event at the Peregian Beach Community house. The gathering paid tribute to the amazing emergency services who saved the town while celebrating its regeneration with a photography exhibition capturing the transformation of the landscape after the fires.

Today Peregian Beach is as united as ever.

Even a global pandemic can’t hold the vibrant community spirit back for long. Post-lockdown, the people have returned to the Village Square and businesses, new and existing, look forward to a positive future with a renewed energy and appreciation for the Village Life.

PERSEPHONE RETURNS! Prosperare, “to prosper“

Created by Richard de Chazal Inspired by the Eleusinian mysteries where Greek Goddess Persephone is abducted and bound to the underworld for six months of the year, one month for each seed eaten of the pomegranate; her return signals abundance and life in a continuous cycle of a descent into death and despair followed by the ascent into rebirth and munificence on the Earth. Destruction and renaissance, the eternal triumph of light over dark and life over death.

ACCIDENTAL DESIGNER Glenda Brownlow never intended to enter the fashion industry but now, more than 20 years after selling her first designs at the local markets, Mensroom by Cottonworx is the go-to for stylish, comfortable and affordable men’s fashion.

G

lenda’s first foray into the world of fashion was in the 80s when she managed a women’s fashion store in Double Bay, Sydney. She never dreamed of a career within the industry but now, all these years later, Glenda’s forged a reputation as one of the region’s leading designers for men’s fashion.

“It was through a change of circumstances that I found myself in fashion. I would never say I set out to be in that industry,” Glenda explains. “I saw an opening in the market and followed it.”

It was a chance meeting with a couple from India that led Glenda to discover a world of beautiful fabrics, unique designs and fashion styles that she still incorporates into her ranges.

“I had a real love for yoga and visiting India,” she said. “In fact, I still have that same love and visit India regularly.”

It wasn’t long before Glenda had learnt the basics of design and manufacturing. Eager to start her own line, she set off on the journey to the creation of Cottonworx, a leading men’s fashion label designed right here in Peregian Beach.

“The Indian couple introduced me to a manufacturer and that is the same manufacturer I use today,” Glenda reveals.

“In that time, my manufacturer has become very huge working with brands such as French Connection. But, because we’ve been working together since the 90s, I have stayed

VILLAGE VIBES GUIDE - 14

on with him even though my account is small in comparison. I’m lucky to work directly with him.”

When it comes to dressing men, Glenda says it’s about choosing pieces that fit their lifestyle.

Mensroom by Cottonworx offers men a stylish solution to comfortable dressing.

With a range of cotton and cotton/linen blend shorts, shirts and pants, it’s easy to be comfortable and look good.

“I look at the type of person he is and the type of lifestyle that he lives,” she says.

Glenda’s designs are timeless, rarely prescribing to trends in an effort to make sure the range appeals to a wide range of buyers.

“I try to get him involved by showing him some outfits and letting him try it on to see how comfortable he feels.

“Most men always come back to get some more pieces because they love them so much!”

“I focus on good quality fabrics and classic design rather than trends,” she says. “My pieces are the kind that people wear for years. They become the wardrobe favourites.

“Women’s fashion is always changing, whereas men’s fashion for me is all about the fabrics and the feel of the clothing.”

To complement the fashion, Glenda also sources unique gifts and accessories from hats and bags; cufflinks, bow ties and jewellery; to antique and retro-inspired gifts or grooming products.

Mensroom by Cottonworx is all about... well, the man!

GOURMET GOODNESS

P

eregian Pantry is where those in-the-know go for good food served with a side of happiness. Dishing up gourmet deli delights, plentiful platters and heavenly gelato made onsite, a trip to the Pantry is like a trip to Disneyland for your tastebuds.

Owner Monica Werner opened Peregian Pantry as a way to share her passion for gelato-making with her hometown.

After attending an exclusive gelato University in Italy where she learned the craft of churning the perfect blend, Monica opened her doors in the heart of the Village square.

And with the shop directly opposite the square’s tree-covered park, it’s the perfect location to indulge in an impromptu treat.

An art-form in itself, blending quality ingredients into a smooth, full-flavoured gelato

is a learned skill. One that Monica spent a month learning how to perfect. The result is an experience for the palate, with Monica prioritising fresh, high-quality ingredients sourced locally. She churns her exquisite gelato on-site daily, creating a dessert that’s cultivated a cult-following with locals.

Although it’s a must-have, Peregian Pantry is more than a gelateria. It’s the perfect place to gather goodies for a picnic; or order one of their stunning food platters for a selection of specially-curated meats, cheese and antipasti to entertain your special someone or a group of friends. The stylish, light-filled store is also home to a collection of stunning homewares sourced from talented local artisans.

An indulgence for your senses, a trip to Peregian Pantry is a must the next time you’re in the Village square.

WHERE THE LOCALS LOVE TO EAT

P

eregian Beach Hotel is the kind of place you go to reaffirm your love of all things Peregian.

Flanked by pandanus trees and salty breezes, the PBH (as it’s affectionately called by the locals) emanates a heady beachside vibe. It’s a hub for surfers, families, and everyone in-between to relax, indulge in delicious food, drinks and enjoy good vibes.

Newly refurbished, the hotel exudes a modern coastal feel with soft colours, grand archways and rattan ceilings.

The space is designed to be as unique and welcoming as the community in which it sits.

Opening to an expansive outdoor area, diners can revel in Peregian’s intoxicating seaside vibe while marvelling at the

impressive and insta-worthy wall mural from renowned local artist Cass Deller.

Head chef Matt Holt and his team focus on fresh food and simple ingredients, preparing delectable Asian-inspired dishes from a menu full of must-try meals. The wood-fired pizza oven fires up more than contemporary pizzas, with chefs using the heat to prepare an array of dishes to delivering a distinctive flame-grilled flavour. Prioritising local ingredients, everything that comes out of the kitchen is high-quality and delicious!

Their casual coastal vibe and dedication to the local community makes Peregian Beach Hotel feel like home in the most welcoming (and stylish) way possible. Considering this firm favourite is a family-owned establishment, the ambience is hardly accidental.

Where’s your favourite spot in Peregian?

Sitting on a bench in Peregian Square (eating gelato from Peregian Pantry!).

What does your ideal day in Peregian look like?

Walk to the village with my family and dog for brekky at Raw Energy or Le Bon Delice, browse the local art gallery at midmodoz, drop into Annie’s Books for a recommendation on the next best read, chat with locals I bump into. If we are talking my ideal day, I would definitely have some pampering at Heart of Beauty then meet up with friends and family at Captain’s Daughter for an early dinner while the kids play in the square or take away pizzas and salads from Peregian Beach Hotel with a nice bottle of red always a good way to end the day.

What word comes to mind when you think of Peregian?

Community. But if I could pick three I’d say: vibrant, connected and community.

WHERE LOCAL MEANS MORE

W

hen White’s IGA Peregian Beach opened its doors almost five years ago, the team brought a fresh take on grocery shopping and a unique local message. Fast forward to 2021 and what you’ll find is a group of passionate grocers who are spearheading a movement that supports producers, suppliers and community throughout the Sunshine Coast and beyond.

The store’s unique Locavore program was created to help customers find locally-sourced food and to understand more about food origins.

It’s an initiative that White’s IGA owner, Roz White stands proudly behind.

“Our Locavore program is something that is totally distinctive to our five supermarkets. It helps customers to easily identify the abundant range of locally-sourced, grown, and produced grocery goodies,” she said.

“When food is sourced locally, it travels less distance and stays almost as fresh and nutritious as the day it was plucked from the

soil, trees or plants. It also puts dollars back into our community and supports Sunshine Coast families,” says Roz. IGA Peregian Beach offers a diverse range of specialty lines catering to the needs of local shoppers. This includes free-from and plantbased eating, special orders and a large range of health and wellness goods.

The onsite fromagerie boasts a mouthwatering array of fine cheeses from local producers, the delicatessen offers charcuterie meats, fresh salads and mezze dishes, and the onsite butcher handmakes sausages daily using a secret 30-year-old family recipe.

With sustainability at the forefront, White’s IGA uses environmentally-friendly and energy efficient refrigeration, LED lighting and recycled water heating.

As a locally-owned business with a local team, this is truly the place where the locals shop, come together and support local business while also ensuring their pantries and fridges are stocked with local love!

PLANT POWER

L

ocated in the unassuming backstreets of Peregian Beach is the Veggie Village, a place where locals come together to grow a garden and build on community connections. Here people celebrate organic growing, producing organic fruit, vegetables, and herbs in individual and communal plots.

The beauty of the space is in more than just its fruit and veg. It’s in the sharing mentality of the people who cultivate them, the connections they make while gardening as a collective, and the sharing of knowledge to maximise their harvest.

Memberships Coordinator Lin Martin has been a member of the community garden since it opened. “Local Bruce Molloy wanted to learn how to grow vegetables in sandy soil, so he organised a meeting at the Bowls Club and more than 60 people turned up,” explains Lin. The meeting was the catalyst for the community garden, which has been going for over 12 years now.

Lin says she admires the strong sense of community, commenting “I’ve met so many wonderful people here that I wouldn’t ordinarily meet, young and old.”

The Veggie Village has changed over the years, reflecting the demographic as Peregian Beach has grown and Lin says there are now a lot more families with young children.

“I love the strong sense of community the Veggie Village provides. Growing vegetables is a great excuse for people to come together and get their hands dirty.”

The Veggie Village has plenty to keep members’ hands dirty. Twice per month they hold a Working Bee for members to maintain the garden and a weekly social group where they can care for individual plots then go for a coffee and catchup after.

It’s these connections that form over cultivating your own food and tending to a community project that builds lasting connections.

Something Peregian Beach is well-versed in.

artisan who laboured over a piece. The store’s curator, Chris Hughes, chooses stock based on what suits the coastal lifestyle and demand from the community.

PEOPLE OF PEREGIAN Name: Lauren Drysdale Business: Heart of Beauty How long have you been part of Peregian Beach Village?

I opened The Heart of Beauty here ten years ago!

I’ve been on the Sunshine Coast most of my life, since 1981.

Where’s your favourite spot in Peregian?

The deck overlooking the beach. Great for a quick look before work. Or sometimes I’m drawn there on a break, or after work with the full moon as the sun is setting.

What does your ideal day in Peregian look like?

Getting to work early and grabbing a coffee and a croissant, or a bite at one of my favourite places. A hug and chats with my team before clients arrive. We are all booked out but not chaos, just smooth sailing and smiles all day. Luckily most days are like this!

What word comes to mind when you think of Peregian?

PEOPLE OF PEREGIAN Name: Nicki White Age: Flitefit How long have you been part of Peregian Beach Village?

I’ve been a part of the Village for six years now.

Where’s your favourite spot in Peregian Beach?

I love all of Peregian Beach! But if I have to pick one it would probably be the Village Square as a whole.

We spend so much time there and love the community of it all. Everyone knows everyone and it takes a long (but pleasant!) time just to walk through because we’re always chatting with someone.

What does your ideal day in Peregian look like?

My ideal day would start with a walk along the beach with my dog. My family and I love the ocean so we’d probably follow that up with a morning out on the ocean on the jet ski. Then I’d fit in a workout in the afternoon before sitting down for a glass of wine somewhere in Peregian.

We love to support local establishment and have so many favourites! The Captain’s Daughter does a fabulous negroni, Pitchfork has some fantastic wines and you can’t go past the Peregian Beach Hotel for a beer.

WHY YOU NEED PRE-APPROVAL

B

uying a home, whether it’s your first home or your last, can be an overwhelming process. The road can get bumpy along the way and you may encounter a pothole or two. Enlisting the help of a mortgage broker can help smooth the way, turning an otherwise rough road into a paved one.

With so many obstacles to your perfect property, a sense of certainty in the homebuying process can be a saving grace for your sanity. One of the best pieces of advice your mortgage broker will give you is to get pre-approval for your finances, providing you with the certainty you need to find your dream home.

Three reasons to get pre-approval 1. Getting pre-approval allows you to know how much you can borrow before you start looking. It means you know what you can afford and what your maximum purchase price is, so you can confidently search for your dream home within a price range you’re comfortable with.

2. A house may get multiple offers from potential buyers so if you’ve got pre-approval prior to making an offer, it’s a great way to stand out from the crowd. If you advise the agent and vendor you have a fully-assessed pre-approval in place they’ll see you as a serious buyer who has done the legwork upfront.

3. Anything that simplifies the buying process of buying a property will provide you with a better overall experience. Once you have pre-approval, formal approval is a much easier and generally faster process. With finance clauses typically 14-days, starting an application for finance within that time frame can be a harrowing process. When you have pre-approval already in place a valuation of the property and transitioning to formal approval are the last hurdles left to be completed within the specified timeframes.

Step into the Mortgage Choice Peregian Beach office where Gordon, Larissa and the team will help you get a pre-approval in place.
