The Station SERIES – Creating Community Connections: Chris and Lauren’s Vision for The Station
In this episode, we dive into the heart of The Station in Birtinya, a dynamic community space run by Chris and Lauren Hignett. Drawing inspiration from their experiences in Singapore, Chris and Lauren have created a local hub that offers everything from skateboard ramps to food, drinks, and live events. Their vision is to foster human connection in a world increasingly dominated by screens, and they’re bringing that to life right here on the Sunshine Coast. With exciting concerts lined up in December and Christmas markets on the horizon.
This conversation explores the couple’s passion for building a sustainable, community-driven space where locals can gather, connect, and create. From hosting events like music festivals and craft workshops to offering top-notch dining from renowned chef Jay Huxley, Chris and Lauren are reimagining what a venue can be.
