Larissa Mahony

Founder & Proprietor | Locals in the Loop

With nearly five years on the Sunshine Coast, I’ve experienced firsthand the challenge of keeping up with the local event scene. Recognising the same need in others, I launched Locals in the Loop, a dedicated platform that makes it easy to explore and plan for everything happening around us.

In addition to my full-time role as a Marketing Executive in international business conferences, I bring years of experience in events, marketing, and management to the platform. Locals in the Loop is the result of months of research and my passion for connecting people to the vibrant coastal lifestyle.
