The Sunshine Coast’s collaborative food and beverage manufacturing precinct, Turbine, is seeking expressions of interest from potential tenants, with a total area of up to 9100 square metres available for lease for food and beverage production.

CEO and project manager, Andrew Eves Brown, said construction on the multi-million dollar development was due to commence shortly.

“Turbine will become the blueprint for collaborative manufacturing and is already attracting significant interest nationally and internationally with food and beverage manufacturers keen to leverage our capabilities and shared services.

“This area is available for manufacturing activities and is supported by a number of shared services such as steam, refrigeration, and waste water treatment,” said Eves Brown.

Tenancy sizes at the precinct can be negotiated, subject to availability, with Turbine offering financial support for fitout and equipment.

Tenants will also have access to a collaborative industry-led R&D centre and warehousing.

Floor space of 2100m2 has been allocated for smaller tenancies, initially set at 300m2 each. Up to 7000m2 has been allocated for larger partnership tenants. Tenancies are expected to be available for occupancy from mid-2025, with possible early access for tenant fit-out works.
