Rhys Fox: Love my town, but I doubt the locals want it to become the next Noosa anyway. What the local businesses have done to come together and make Nambour into a new cultural hub is fantastic, and well-welcomed.
Shannon Smith-Erb: Lived in Nambour for nearly seven years and love it! The new shops and bars are awesome. I used to bag out Nambour before I lived here having never been here. Living here totally changed my mind. Lovely friendly little town.
Isabel Kennedy: I love Nambour. I lived there for many years while I was still working, retired to Bundaberg bad move, still have family there and get down often, The shops are good and my bank is so handy also I like the markets they have.
Craig Heppell: Really proud to be part of this resurgence. There will be a fair bit of regret for those who disregarded Nambour as a great place to live. It's all happening here!
Vanessa Lisa: Nambour is a great place- awesome high school.
Yolanda Braithwaite: Ooh Yes! Two years ago people were afraid to go there. They said it was full of crime. I think the change is from shopping local and supporting new business.
Kaylene Jorgensen: Nambour is great until ......you try and find a car park. It's ridiculous. Where does the council think all these people are going to park come on council pull ya head out of the sand and come up with more car spaces NOW.
Michelle Burton: Good luck to them. All the rural town need a boost. New life is a good thing.
