The Fleurieu Coast Business Association - or FCBA for short - is a support network of local business people who come together to connect, collaborate, build community and unlock opportunity. We believe great things can happen when local business people come together, share their knowledge and their experiences, support one another to grow and share a great perspective.

President » TJ Marks
- 21 Junk Street
- president@fcba.asn.au
Tj fell in love with the Fleurieu Coast when she moved to the area 10 years ago with her husband and young family from QLD.
Growing up with a chef mother and entrepreneur father it was inevitable that she would find a passion in the food industry and create her own business.
Tj feels her mission in life is to bring modern fresh food to this community and passionate about feeding it. She has been on various committees around the district during her time here including the kindy and school, sporting clubs and has helped run the Normanville New Years Eve Pageant for the past four years. TJ's claim to fame was creating Junk Street, starting off as a retro & vintage shop in a back shed, to today being a well known catering business and coffee van servicing the Fleurieu.

Committee Member » Hayley Pember-Calvert
- Leonards Mill
- hayley@leonardsmill.com.au
Took over Leonards Mill Restaurant in 2017 with my husband. Mother of 1, with another on the way, plus a fur baby. I am a butter enthusiast, chardonnay lover and passionate foodie. My focus is on only sourcing produce from local farmers & producers on the Fleurieu Peninsula. After travelling overseas and seeing how other countries source entire menus from a single town or region, realised that this was lacking in Australia. The Fleurieu Coast is abundant with amazing produce and that is what we want to show off to our guests! My family have had a farm in Second Valley for 32 years and there is no place more beautiful or feels like home.
