2027 Maleny Wood Expo

To be held at the Maleny Showgrounds Maleny, the 2027 Maleny Wood Expo will continue to celebrate all things about the art of woodworking, creative craftsmanship, land care, and sustainable forestry.

The Maleny Wood Expo offers something for everyone. From workshops with some of the finest woodworkers in the country, children's woodworking activities, educational talks, fine furniture and art, live music, interactive tool and trade displays to a range of sustainably harvested timber for sale and more. The event will allow exhibitors to display and educate visitors about their trades, services and products.

The Expo targets an audience of visitors, bringing together artisans, timber suppliers, environmental educators, and the local community for an educational and fun experience promoting and showcasing sustainable timber use, quality craftsmanship, and environmental awareness in an authentic Sunshine Coast Hinterland setting supporting local businesses and industry.

By introducing school students to sustainable forestry practices, traditional wood trades, and green technology, the event directly combats regional skills shortages and creates grassroots employment opportunities.

Capitalising on South East Queensland's drive catchment, the event channels high-yield intrastate visitors into the Sunshine Coast hinterland region providing an essential demand driver for local hospitality and accommodation sectors outside of peak holiday windows, and directly sustains regional trade by providing an active commercial platform for local woodworkers, artisans, and tourism operators.
