With offices in Palm Beach, Coolangatta and Currumbin, our local, family owned and operated business prides itself on hiring the best people to deliver exceptional results to our clients on the southern end of the Gold Coast and in Northern NSW.

We are supported by the LJ Hooker international network which has spent over 90 years building strong relationships and delivering real results. We play a crucial role in the lives of many Australians and have become Australia's best-known and most trusted real estate brand.

As a customer owned organisation, Summerland Credit Union are not like a major bank because our profits don’t go to external shareholders. By banking with us, your money is being used for good by an organisation that cares as much about the environment, your community and an ethical banking industry as you do.

We've been proudly providing banking solutions since 1974. Summerland has a long history of integrating sustainability practices into our business. We exist for the benefit of our customers and the communities we service. Our environmental, social and governance principles ensure we maintain a focus on good practices, while supporting our customers and communities.

We were the first financial institution to achieve Gold Partner accreditation in the Sustainability Advantage Program in acknowledgement of our outstanding environmental achievements and leadership. For more information - https://www.summerland.com.au/

PBC Alliance Business Breakfast

On 18 October we held our Term 3 Business Networking Breakfast to a full house. Alliance Partner, Members, Friends, PBC Staff and Students Leaders enjoyed a delicious meal provided by our Senior Hospitality Students and Staff. The full buffet breakfast was a huge hit with guests commenting on the quality of the food. Thank you to Bidfood for providing the produce for the breakfast.

Guests were able to listen to inspirational stories from Ambassador and Ex-PBC Alumni Karla Gilbert and Scott Watters, founder of the LifeChanger Foundation. LifeChanger Foundation empowers young people to live thriving, resilient lives by developing their social, emotional and resilience skills, and by building connections in their community. LifeChanger is the first pre-emptive program of its kind, with a delivery model that engages with youth, teachers, parents and local mentors to build a sustainable village of support. The workshops allow young people, and local community mentors, to connect and interact; building inclusive and resilient communities. With mental health at the forefront of our community, this worthy foundation needs your support - LifeChanger Foundation |

After hearing from Karla and Scott from Lifechanger, Azariah Gutchen from the Clontarf Academy spoke to guests about the wonderful goals they have been achieving throughout 2023.

Finally we heard from the OG PBC Alliance Founder, Neil MacKay about the importance of the Alliance for supporting our students.
