A long-running family business on the Sunshine Coast has shut its doors for good, with the owner blaming a lack of affordable rental options.

A Maroochydore mechanic says he has been left with no option but to shut, due to a lack of suitable commercial spaces

"My wife and I bought a house on the other side of Gympie about five years ago and I was commuting nearly 100 kilometres to work every day," Mr Cox said.The mechanic said it was a "worry" to have"Not a lot of people are able to exist in service industries and live on the Coast." He said industrial space was also being snapped up quickly and the vacancy rate would be between 2 to 4 per cent in most parts of the region.He said a surge in interstate migrants had added to the competition for commercial space.

Could’ve/should’ve bought the place. Miss opportunity. Anyway, bet he becomes a backyard mechanic and does ok. Decades of customers there. Much like a plumber or electrician, everyone needs a mechanic.

Why doesn’t he get funding like the export farmers and subsidies like the miners. Hmm 🤔
