The Gumnut Place
Evolving the way we look at business opportunities.
The Gumnut Place is more than just good business; it has been supporting people with a disability, their families and carers, across the communities of the South Burnett for more than 30 years.
As part of South Burnett CTC, we plan to continue to grow our people, products and services as an essential part of this community for years to come.
Our products in a nutshell
Gumnut Place has five distinct business units, all of which provide valuable products and services to local businesses and the community:
- Commercial Kitchen and Catering
- Wood Workshop & Pallet Making
- Engraving, Trophies & Badge Making
- Secure Document Destruction (Shredding Services)
- Commercial Laundry
Gumnut Place is always willing to meet the unique needs of our customers. Whether it be commemorative plaques, to personal ironing, or the best jam drops in town, Gumnut Place is always happy to help.
Purchasing from an Australian Disability Enterprise is more than just good business. It is supporting local people in local employment for the benefit of the local community. We encourage everybody who can utilise any of our products or services to contact The Gumnut Place.
