Unlike some other plumbing businesses who service many areas and suburbs of the Sunshine Coast, I've chosen to only service this very small and beautiful stretch of coastline, which means I am always close by!

By staying in a small, exclusive area I am usually very close to your home, allowing me to get to urgent jobs quickly and is also the reason I can offer a GENUINE no call-out fee service and FREE on-site discussion and evaluation of your plumbing issue with no hidden charges or fine print.

I specialise in residential maintenance plumbing, which is the service, repair and replacement of all parts of the plumbing system in your home. This includes things such as hot water problems, blocked drains, water leaks and burst pipes, leaking taps and toilets, plus nearly everything else!

So if you live in any of the following suburbs, please feel free to call/text me anytime on 0493 027 027 or use the email, Whatsapp or Facebook icons you will see on your sceen.

Hello, my name is Pete and I am the owner of Mount Coolum Plumbing.

While Mount Coolum Plumbing is only a reasonably new business, started in 2023, I had been operating my plumbing business in Brisbane for over 12 years before moving to the Sunshine Coast.

While I was born and lived in Brisbane up until late 2022, my family has a long history in Coolum dating back to the 1930s.

My father's family home was on the block of land where the Clubb Coolum Resort now sits, giving him only a short run down to the Coolum Surf Club where he was a Cadet at age 14 and eventually going on to be Captain of the Surf Club and the Surf Boat sweep. He still remains a Life Member of the club.

My grandfather was both a banana and sugar cane farmer in the local area and my grandma was the Principle and sole teacher of Coolum Primary School in the early 1940's, back when it was just a single building situated on South Coolum Road.

After moving to Brisbane when he was 16 years old to start working, dad still spent every weekend and holidays back in Coolum actively involved with patrols at the Surf Club.

Back in those days, getting from Brisbane city to Coolum on a Friday afternoon usually involved hitch hiking and was unlikely to be an easy, straight trip all the way to Coolum! Dad sometimes wouldn't end up here until late into the night, only to be up early on Saturday morning to get ready for the first surf patrol of the weekend.

Dad going back to Coolum every weekend led to my mother also spending a lot of time up here, eventually introducing her own parents to the area.

My grandparents on my mother's side loved Coolum so much, that in 1979 they built a small block of units above First Bay which was where my nanna went on to live until she was 94 years old. This meant I was lucky enough to spend many weekends and most holidays up here surfing and fishing throughout my life, where I developed a deep connection and love of the area

So, after always dreaming of living in the Coolum area, my wife and I finally made the decision to leave everything behind in Brisbane and move here. We now live in our new home in beautiful Mount Coolum and our kids play on the same school grounds their Grandad did 70 years ago.

*** A small update to this story :) Since moving here, my parents also decided to move to Coolum, so after over 65 years, my dad is back living in his hometown.***
