Repair Cafe Eumundi is part of a global movement helping people repair household items that might otherwise end up in landfill, saving valuable resources while strengthening community connections.
More than a place to mend broken belongings, the café brings residents together to share stories, memories and skills. Many items repaired carry personal significance, from treasured family heirlooms to everyday appliances that still have years of life left in them.
The environmental benefits extend far beyond the weight of the items saved. Every successful repair avoids the need to manufacture a replacement, preserving the energy, materials and costs involved in mining, smelting, production, transport, warehousing and retail.
In just 4 months, a small team of dedicated volunteers has assisted more than 20 residents and repaired almost 100kg of household items. Using the UK National Carbon Calculator, this equates to an estimated 864kg of carbon emissions avoided. Most repairs have involved electrical appliances, often restored through simple fixes such as repairing broken connections or clearing blocked airways.
The volunteer team continues to grow and now includes specialists in clothing repairs, sewing machines, bicycles, typewriters, general repairs and a licensed electrician. Services are offered free of charge, although donations are appreciated to help cover hall hire costs.
The next Repair Café on 8 October will feature sewing machine and typewriter experts. At 11am the typewriter specialist will present The Digitally Disillusioned, exploring the renewed interest in traditional typewriters. Actor Tom Hanks, who reportedly owns more than 300 typewriters, says he prefers the thoughtful permanence of ink on paper to email.

Residents eager to see the completion of the Eumundi Streetscaping Project will not have to wait much longer, with Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) confirming the final stage of works is scheduled for October and November.
The construction which began in 2024 has transformed the heart of Eumundi through a series of upgrades designed to improve safety, accessibility and the overall visitor experience while celebrating the town’s unique heritage and character.
Works completed so far include upgraded footpaths, new seating and landscaping, pedestrian connections, enhanced lighting, and public spaces designed to support both locals and visitors. The project has also focused on creating stronger links between key destinations within the town centre and providing a more welcoming environment for the thousands of people who visit Eumundi each year.
Responding to questions from Eumundi Voice about the project timeline, a SCC representative confirmed that the remaining works have been carefully scheduled.
“The final elements of the streetscape design have been programmed to align with contractor availability and to avoid the busy school holiday period,” the spokesperson said.
The remaining features to be installed during October and November include the Bullock Turning Circle interpretation element, wayfinding signage panels, the Lonergan Ln mural, gobo lighting projections in Lonergan Ln and near the seating area at Market Square, and the Lonergan Ln pedestrian link public art light installation on the arbour.
SCC also advised that the Cultural Heritage and Art Trail is currently in development and will be delivered later this year. ...
