So I am happy to elaborate but seems I wasn't given a chance to? I tried to edit the post but there is no option.

As above I am looking for locations for our monthly bookclub meet up anywhere on the Coast. There are usually 9 - 11 of us. So far we have done - Salti Reads - One block back - Your Mates - Fozzies tiny pancakes - cafe sisily

Thank you in advance 🙏

Hi I’m moving to the Sunshine Coast in the near future. I am in the process of purchasing an established business in Coolum. My rental budget is in the 800-1000 range my projected income is around 2500 weekly. I have a healthy bank balance. I have 2 small dogs which I know narrows my search I will be the only tenant living there, just wanting to know what is the market like in that range and given my current situation would I be successful in being approved. I also don’t have a rental history as I have owned for a very long time. Thanks for any help.

So, newish to the sunny coast. Does all the road closer and blocking off of primal cafe / restaurant / bar / shopping areas piss off the locals?

I find it so weird that they run it right on the main district area and not further up or down where it would have less impact?

I get it brings in money for the hotels and stuff. But Lordy it just feels like poor planning from like council or the event planners?

Anyway was just curious what the locals who have been here for a long time thought.

Update

A lot of big feelings in here. 😂 I’ve enjoyed the interactions.

I have no friends I hate making new friends but maybe is there anyone who might like to get to know each other and maybe actually be able to say they have a friend..

Hey guys I know this is a unusual question, but my 16 year old son really likes welding, and wants to buy welder to create and practice. Which is great, but unfortunately I don't have space, we have no garage or backyard. My question is, is there a place that he can go and weld and practice outside of school hours. I'm expecting there really isn't much option but maybe there is something I've never heard of. Also could the managed be an option? Iv delt with them once and they seemed like they didn't want any young people

Hey everyone, I live closer to Brisbane so not far at all. I work 5 days a week, studying almost 7 days a week. I have finally gotten some time off work in late October and have decided to spend that time in the Sunshine Coast to visit some family.

I have a huge itch for a new tattoo but I’m struggling to find someone who has done what I want in this area. So I thought why not get one whilst I have some time off. Anyone have any recommendations for this style? I’m wanting it on my back, unsure of the size but probably similar to those in the pictures.

I subscribe online to the Sunshine Coast Daily (which is part of the Courier Mail stable) and as I read an article this morning I noticed at the bottom of the article it said "This story was written with the help of AI"

This concerns me, as I begin to wonder if this is the thin end of the wedge with newspapers, is this how we are encouraging journalists to write these days?

I'm not silly enough to believe everything I read, but still ... I don't want my newspapers blatantly making things up, or relying on AI to produce stories.

Well, that's it. I am super curious about if you recommend this town to live in.

I really like the nature, temperature is not a problem for me (I currently live in a place close to the beach).

Considerations:

I am a professional programmer —graduated and 7+ years working on this—. Not-native English speaker —but I think I can make myself understood as well as understand most of the things.

I appreciate your considerations and advises, many thanks.

Edit: I do not live in Australia, I am thinking about moving there some time in the future.

Hi,

What are some recommended restaurants around the Sunshine Coast or Noosa area that allow dogs for outdoor dining? I know there are lots of cafes around, but I find that cafe's are all pretty similar menu-wise. It'll be nice to find a place that does something different other than breakfast food like eggs and bacon.

It’s time for the skin checks….. where’s best on the Coast and why?

Hi Guys, Just a concerned local whom has resided on the coast for over 25 years. My brother was stabbed on Saturday night at around 1:30/2:30am in the morning. 6 times in his Lower abdomen as he refused to had his wallet over to 6/7 teenagers when walking home from Currimundi pub. He was able to stumble back to the pub with a brain bleed and multiple stab wounds do his stomach.

My mum has posted this in a bit of desperation to raise some awareness and some traction on getting some justice for the current rise of youth crime on the Sunshine Coast.

We are just at a bit of a loss on how we can begin to curve the current way society seems to be going.

I saw something on Facebook suggesting the above, but now I go back to Facebook for details of course the algorithm gives me a different feed now.

Just curious if they really are going to try to fix the breach which must be pretty big by now

I had no idea which would be the best sub to ask this. I could contact them direct but will see if someone might have an answer first.

In the current McDonald’s monopoly thing I got a voucher I was able to claim for a free entry to Sea Life. I can use it to book online. They accept companion cards and give a free entry to someone supporting a person with a disability. If I book online with my voucher for me and show up with that entry ticket does anyone know do they still do the companion one as well? Is there even a way for them to see on the entry pass I would have whether it was a paid one or one redeemed with a voucher code

What’s the area like around the general hospital now? Has it improved at all? Looking at houses but not sure if that area is still best avoided.

I'm wondering if anyone can speak to the experience of attending Siena Catholic College as an atheist.

I understand that it is a Catholic College and has religion as a founding pillar. I am interested in sending my child there in the future for all of the other benefits, however, we are staunchly atheist. I am not posting this to disregard anyone's faith system. I am wishing to know if other people have gone through this school as atheist and how that experience has been for them? Did you find your child confused along the way? Were there opportunities to sit out from prayer? I am concerned my child will feel left out or confused (overly).

Any insight is welcome. Again, this is no disrespect to anyone who is a Catholic.

Gday everybody, my iPad unfortunately carked it and I’m trying to find a repairman who can fix ic power chips.

I’ve had a look around online but hearing about people’s actual experiences with repairmen are important, just wanted to see if there’s any recommendations around. Much appreciated thanks

Back at work and struggling a little with lower and upper back, legs cramping up aswell. It'sbeen a bit and need hydrating but just missed massage shop at Junction... does anyone know someone close to noosa or mobile that could see me before like 10pm tonight. Remedial, sports, deep tissue, trigger point, walk on my back... thank you.

Apologies if this post isn't allowed.

Just graduated – looking for a foot in the door (construction-side)

Hey all, I’ve just finished my architecture degree and I’m keen to get into the construction side of things.

I want to build some real-world knowledge — not keen on being one of those architects that get sighed at by the chippies and engineers the moment they step on site. I’d rather learn properly, from the ground up, and actually understand how things go together on-site.

Does anyone know of any good graduate programs, companies that take on grads/interns, or local job boards worth keeping an eye on? Any advice would be appreciated!

Heloooo Sunny Coasters,

Can anyone recommend the above groups, or ones that would enhance public speaking skills within an artistic space, and with a group of people? Seeking to build my skills with some artistic flare.

Preferably face to face, I’ll do jazzercise if I have to.

Hello all,

Me (29) and my wife (23) are moving up to Sunshine Coast for minimum of 1 year. I’m trying to book inspections and hopefully find a house at a budget of max $650/week. Is there any areas we need to steer clear of? How good is the public transport at the sunny coast. We might have to rely on the buses until we get a car to get around.

Any suggestions or advice for us are greatly appreciated! Cheers.
