NBA Circle August 2025

August 2025

Welcome to the NBA Newsletter Your Monthly Circle to the Noosaville Business Community We’re thrilled to introduce NBA Circle – your fresh go-to for monthly updates, insights, and opportunities within the Noosaville business community.

5. Enhancing our reputation and visibility

Let’s kick things off with some fantastic news: the Noosaville Business Association recently held its Annual General Meeting, and we’re pleased to report a renewed sense of energy and engagement. Membership is on the rise, and we now have a newly formed committee ready to drive positive change.

Ultimately, we aim to foster a more united and empowered business community in Noosaville – one with the influence and resources to achieve meaningful outcomes.

Two familiar faces remain in key roles – Stephanie Clunies-Ross continues as Treasurer, and Nicky Turner has stepped up from Vice-President to President. The rest of the committee is brand new and full of enthusiasm.

We extend a big thank you to Noosa Boathouse for generously hosting this year’s Annual General Meeting and post-event celebration drinks in their stunning new Saltwater Studio Boardroom. With its picturesque waterfront views and exceptional facilities, the venue provided the perfect setting for both our formal agenda and the valuable networking that followed. Their ongoing support is a testament to their commitment to the Noosaville business community.

Looking Ahead As we move forward, the NBA remains focused on connection, collaboration, and championing local business. Through regular networking events, enhanced communication, and meaningful initiatives, we’re committed to delivering genuine value to our members.

Collaboration sits at the heart of what we do. We’re excited to strengthen our partnership with the Noosa Chamber of Commerce and build deeper connections with neighbouring associations and networks. Together, we can create a more connected, resilient, and thriving business ecosystem across the region.

Our six focus areas for the next 12 months are: 1. Growing membership numbers 2. Strengthening the voice of our business and community sectors 3. Increasing member engagement and networking opportunities 4. Providing tangible value to members

6. Building long-term sustainability for the association

You’ll also notice a stronger online presence. We’ve launched the Visit Noosa Foreshore TikTok account, aimed at attracting more locals and visitors to our beautiful area and supporting our local tourism and retail sectors.

Noosaville is where business happens – and the NBA is here to support that growth through networking, mentorship, and advocacy.

We’re excited for what’s ahead and, more importantly, we want to hear from you. Reach out to any of our committee members with your ideas, questions, or feedback – we’re here to listen.

Join us at our first social networking event on Thursday, 18th September at Pucca – full details inside this issue.

Come meet the new committee and help shape the future of the NBA. Let’s grow together.

Meet The Committee Nicky Turner

children. She and Jay enjoy travelling together, balancing their family life with their thriving business. With two of their children now working alongside them, Laguna Pest Control stands as a true family enterprise - built on values, passion, and a shared commitment to excellence.

Nicky Turner is the co-founder of Laguna Pest Control, established in 2010 with her husband, Jay. From its beginnings, Nicky has been instrumental in driving the company’s growth, steering it to become one of Australia’s most highly regarded pest management businesses. Under her leadership, Laguna Pest Control has earned numerous accolades, including recognition from the Sunshine Coast Business Awards, Australian Champion Awards, and the prestigious national title of Pest Manager of the Year.

What inspired you to join the NBA? “I’ve been a proud member of the NBA for over 15 years.

Back then, aside from Tourism Noosa, it was the largest and most active networking association in the region. I originally joined to connect with fellow local businesses and to strengthen relationships with our valued clients.

President Laguna Pest Control Owner

A passionate entrepreneur and advocate for excellence, Nicky’s influence extends well beyond business. She is deeply committed to supporting her local community and actively engages in business networks, fostering collaboration and growth among fellow operators.

Nicky is also a trailblazer for gender equality in the pest management industry. She founded the Women in Australian Pest Management Association and launched the industry’s first Recognition Awards for women. These initiatives were born from her personal experiences with workplace challenges and her determination to create a more inclusive, supportive environment for women across the profession. Her advocacy continues to inspire and empower women nationwide.

Dedicated to education and raising awareness, Nicky also co-hosts the Pestie Profiles podcast with Jay. Offering practical pest management advice and industry insights, the show has attracted over 29,000 downloads and remains a trusted resource for homeowners and professionals alike.

Looking back, joining the NBA was one of the best decisions I made for our business. I quickly realised that in Noosa, success often comes down to who you know - not just what you know. By combining that local knowledge with a commitment to excellent service, we were able to build meaningful connections that played a key role in our growth. The NBA has been instrumental in supporting and shaping our journey.”

What do you love most about Noosaville?

“What’s not to love! The river, the vibe, the food, and the people—it all makes Noosaville such a special place.

When you look at the broader Noosa region, Noosaville stands out as a true hub of activity. It’s home to an incredible mix of restaurants, retail stores, accommodation, cafés, art galleries, and a wide range of service and trade businesses. From the relaxed charm of Gympie Terrace and the vibrant areas behind the Foreshore, to the bustling Industrial Estate and the Marina, Noosaville has it all - with Tewantin just next door.

Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Noosaville really does have the most to offer.”

While her professional achievements are many, Nicky considers her proudest role to be mother to three adult

Noosa offers the ideal balance of inspiration and tranquillity. It’s a place where creativity thrives, where small businesses can grow, and where people genuinely enjoy life. I feel incredibly lucky to live and work here, and I’m passionate about contributing to the community and helping others make the most of everything Noosa has to offer.

Spotlight on the Noosaville Industrial Estate Written by Alanna Shapland Commercial Property Consultant RWC Noosa Tucked just behind the Noosaville foreshore and river precinct, the Noosaville Industrial Estate has quietly become one of the region’s most dynamic business hubs. Once primarily home to industrial operators, it has evolved into a vibrant precinct that seamlessly blends industry, retail, and lifestyle.

The estate hosts a wide variety of enterprises, from trade services, showrooms, and warehouses to craft breweries, boutique retailers, and creative studios. This eclectic mix makes it a destination not only for local businesses and trades but also for residents and visitors seeking artisan goods, specialty stores, and unique food experiences.

Industrial tenants remain a cornerstone of the estate, providing essential services across building, automotive, and logistics. Meanwhile, the growing presence of smallscale manufacturers, specialty producers, and innovative startups has brought a fresh energy to the precinct.

Breweries, distilleries, and boutique outlets have further enhanced the estate’s appeal, making it a place where work and lifestyle intersect attracting locals and tourists who want to experience a different side of Noosaville.

Particularly along Gateway Drive, the estate has earned the nickname “The Gateway to Art”. This corridor is home to creative studios, artisan workshops, and galleries, offering a unique cultural experience alongside the industrial and retail activity in the estate. It’s where craftsmanship, innovation, and business come together.

Its location is a major advantage. Just minutes from the Noosa River foreshore and key transport routes, the Industrial Estate offers convenience for businesses and easy access to lifestyle amenities for employees and visitors alike. This combination makes it an attractive choice for operators seeking both functionality and visibility.

Alanna Shapland Commercial Property Consultant P: 0435 799 321 E: alanna.shapland@raywhite.com

The precinct is evolving rapidly, with several exciting projects set to strengthen its role as a vibrant commercial hub: •

The Precinct, 58 Rene Street, Noosaville: A new commercial development designed to foster collaboration, co-working, and business growth.

•

4 Leo Alley Road Units: A modern complex featuring 17 industrial and business units, offering excellent connectivity and flexible workspace solutions.

•

Gateway Drive Industrial Hub: A purposebuilt light industrial and creative business hub supporting artisan trades, small manufacturers, and boutique operators

Looking ahead, as Noosa continues to balance sustainable growth with community values, the Noosaville Industrial Estate will remain a vital part of the local economy. With its mix of traditional industrial uses, creative studios, and customer-facing businesses, plus a wave of new developments, it’s clear the precinct will continue to be a vibrant, forward-looking hub for both business and culture.
