All clubs and users of Nambour Showgrounds are operating under approved COVID Safe Plans and guidelines relative to their use. Please check directly with the event organiser, club or association for more information.
Be COVIDSafe
While council has increased cleaning of many facilities, being COVIDSafe is everyone's responsibility. We remind residents and visitors to observe social distancing requirements when using public spaces which includes:
- Stay home if you are sick
- Keep 1.5 metres away from others
- Avoid peak times and overcrowded areas
- Wash or disinfect hands regularly
- Avoid touching high use areas.
Nambour Showgrounds is centrally located within the Sunshine Coast region and close to the Bruce Highway. This venue is ideal for large events, festivals, conferences, expos and trade shows.
The venue is a 14.52 hectare recreational, sporting and events facility, with multi-purpose ovals, grandstand to accommodate up to 600 seated patrons, large equestrian precinct, several fully equipped catering facilities and a number of meeting/function rooms for daytime and evening bookings. Major events held each year include the Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show, Queensland Garden Expo, Swap Meet and South Queensland Caravan Camping Boating and Fishing Expo. Just some of the regular activities include cricket, tennis, equestrian and badminton. Refer to the regular showground hirers and events page.
In 2013 a Master Plan was endorsed by council for the venue, providing a 10+ year vision to guide future capital works programming and facility development.
