The vibrant shipping container playground known fondly to Sunny Coast locals as, “Nighquarter”, is set to be revitalised as “The Station”.

Picture: The former “Nightquarter” site at Birtinya closed for a year after falling prey to a slow economy.

Owners of the Birtinya live music venue, Chris and Lauren Hignett (main picture), who are also behind local indoor skatepark, Alley-Oops, have secured a five year lease of the site.

In March next year, The Station will become a multi-purpose, family-friendly live music and entertainment precinct, featuring retail shops, a bar area, and street-style food vendors.

And even its own skate park!

Nightquarter fell prey to a slow economic recovery post Covid-19, and also to floods and the rising cost of living, with the owners having to shut their doors suddenly, leaving a massive hole in the live music industry.

Lauren Hignett told Channel 7: “We wanted a place where we could have a good time, as adults, and our kids could have a good time as well.”

Food vendors who previously operated at the 6,400m2 site have been welcomed back.
