We’re excited to share our recent member profile with Business Chamber Queensland (BCQ). The BCQ team visited us to highlight our story, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. A special thank you our loyal shareholders & suppliers, Nathan & Tirtzah Townsend, who welcomed the film crew on their farm to capture some beautiful footage that brings the story to life.
About Business Chamber Queensland
As Queensland’s Chamber of Commerce, Business Chamber Queensland has been supporting businesses for over 150 years. They represent every industry, region, and business size across the state. As an independent, not-for-profit organisation, Business Chamber Queensland is dedicated to helping Queensland businesses not just survive, but thrive.
Celebrating 40 Years of Suncoast Gold
This profile comes at a special time for us – Suncoast Gold Macadamias is celebrating 40 years in business. Founded in 1985 by forward-thinking local growers determined to shape their future, Suncoast Gold has grown into one of the Gympie region’s most iconic businesses.
We remain proudly 100% owned by Australian macadamia growers, with every decision made for the benefit of our growers and the long-term strength of the industry. Unlike many processors, we process our entire crop right here in Gympie, supporting local jobs and ensuring the highest standards of quality.

A Shared Commitment to Queensland
Just as Suncoast Gold Macadamias has always been driven by and for our growers, Business Chamber Queensland works tirelessly to ensure Queensland remains the best place in Australia to do business. We’re proud to be part of this network and to showcase our story through their member profile series.
We invite you to enjoy the video below and celebrate the journey of Suncoast Gold Macadamias.
