Digital Hub Development and Rufous St Precinct Project

UPDATE/OUTCOME: The Digital Hub opened its doors in September 2018. Since then, it has delivered an ambitious suite of programs, events and activities to support the region’s digital entrepreneurs, grow Noosa’s digital sector and develop young tech talent. Read an update from March 2019 on Council’s website.

Council purchased the bowls club site at Rufous Street in November 2014 and considered the future of that site as part of a larger conversation with Peregian residents, including a whole range of ideas previously put forward by the Peregian Beach community. Those ideas are rapidly coming to fruition with the construction of the Peregian Beach Digital Hub now complete and digital entrepreneurs soon to take up occupancy.
