New family-friendly entertainment precinct
THE Sunshine Coast’s latest family friendly entertainment precinct The Station at Birtinya has now thrown open its doors, welcoming thousands of people during the opening weekend celebrations earlier this month.
The venue is the brainchild of Chris and Lauren Hignett who took over the lease of the 6,400 m2 site late last year. Chris said exciting plans were underway to ensure the precinct becomes one of the most popular entertainment destinations on the Sunshine Coast.
“It was fantastic to have The Temper Trap as our main act on the opening night and we have a number of high profile performers who we have already confirmed for future events including JET, Richard Clapton, international DJ Roger Sanchez and indie pop royalty San Cisco,” he said.
The new venue operators said they were keen to promote both emerging and seasoned local performers and prioritise support for local suppliers in the food and beverage sector.
“We want to be known as the family friendly venue which supports locals and we aim to deliver this across all parts of the venue,” co-owner Lauren said.
Stage One of The Station includes a major concert venue, skate park, a scooter and skate store, pop ups, a rotating food truck precinct and a bar area with over 20 beverages all from local suppliers all open six days a week.
