Business support

While major revitalisation projects do bring some inconvenience, access will remain available to Mooloolaba’s beautiful beach and businesses.

As part of Council’s Business Support initiative during Stage Two of the foreshore’s redevelopment, funding has been provided for a business activation plan including additional promotional activity.

To assist, resources have been developed including wayfinding maps, fast facts and templates to customise for your business needs. You can also plan in advance by downloading the Business Continuity Guide from Council’s website.

We encourage you to boost your communications with your customers, employees, suppliers and other local businesses with regular updates to your website, social media and any other communication tools to keep your community informed.

Resources

These downloadable and print friendly resources are available for all Mooloolaba businesses to access and are updated regularly to reflect the projects progress.

Meet me in Mooloolaba

The Mooloolaba Chamber of Commerce has created the ‘Meet Me in Mooloolaba’ campaign, which is now live across social media, digital advertising, radio, billboards and more.

The campaign showcases everything that makes Mooloolaba special: the beach, cafes and restaurants, accommodation, shopping and experiences and, most importantly local businesses.

Visit the Discover Mooloolaba website to register and find out more and be sure to tell your family and friends to ‘meet you at Mooloolaba!’

Business Activation Group

Council has been working with specialist place strategy and activation company, Reactivate Consulting, the newly established Business Activation Group and the broader business community on developing a Business Activation Plan (2024-25).

The Plan aims to help maintain the Mooloolaba magic for visitors, locals and businesses before, during and after the vital works that will rejuvenate and protect the foreshore. It also focuses on opportunities for Mooloolaba and creating ideas to keep the town humming. These focus on People, Place, Precinct Enablers and Events.

The Business Activation Group consists of accommodation providers, representatives from tourism, hospitality and retail, precinct managers, as well as the Mooloolaba Chamber of Commerce and regional tourism organisation Visit Sunshine Coast.

Parking - four hours free

From 28 January 2025, we are pleased to provide the first four hours of parking free at the PARKnGO Mooloolaba Central.

This initiative is part of the Mooloolaba Business Activation Plan – developed as a collaboration between the Mooloolaba businesses community and Council to drive activation and business support throughout Stage 2 of the Foreshore Revitalisation.

The promotion will conclude when Stage Two Central Meeting Place and Southern Seawall are completed.
