LEADING New Zealand fashion label   Augustine International is opening its first Australian store in the famous Hastings St tourist strip at Noosa Heads on the Sunshine Coast. 
  Augustine has secured a prominent corner position in the 46sq m tenancy at Lot 8, 41 Hastings St, Noosa Heads, in a deal negotiated by Ray White Commercial's Paul Butler and Paul Forrest.
  Augustine has secured a 2.5-year lease plus options and will be paying a net rental of $174,720 a year.
Mr Forrest said   Augustine, which is owned by Kelly and Nathan Coe, is taking over the tenancy previously occupied by swimwear retailer Pain de Sucre, which has relocated to Double Bay in Sydney."This was a highly sought-after shop and was only listed for approximately two weeks before a deal was struck with the new tenant," he said.
