29 September 2025: Turbine Sunshine Coast Ltd is pleased to announce McNab as a valued project partner in the construction and delivery of Australia’s first purpose-built collaborative food and beverage manufacturing precinct, to be located at Sunshine Coast Industrial Park.
McNab, one of Queensland’s leading construction and property groups, is recognised for delivering high-quality, complex projects across the state. Their involvement brings further expertise and capability to the Turbine team as the project prepares for the next phase of delivery.
Turbine CEO, Andrew Eves-Brown, said the partnership demonstrates the strength of the project’s foundations.
“McNab is highly respected in the industry and shares our vision for building a facility that will support businesses, create jobs, and deliver long-term benefits to the region. We are delighted to have them in this next key part of the journey,” Mr Eves-Brown said.
With Expressions of Interest now being called for food and beverage tenancies, the multi-million-dollar Turbine Precinct is proposed as a transformational ecosystem for food and beverage businesses, providing shared infrastructure, access to advanced equipment, and opportunities for collaboration with research, education and industry partners.
A McNab spokesperson said the company was pleased to support Turbine’s development.
“We see Turbine as a project with the potential to make a genuine impact and we welcome the opportunity to contribute our experience as a partner and builder to help bring that vision to life,” the spokesperson said.
The Turbine project is jointly funded by the Australian Government and Queensland Government, and aims to remove barriers for small to medium-sized food and beverage businesses by providing the tools, expertise and environment they need to scale and thrive, with the first tenants due to move in early 2027.
