Sunshine Coast Council

I’m pleased to let you know I have allocated some of my divisional footpath funding to a new section of footpath on Yandina –Bli Bli Road. It will fill the gap from the end of the existing footpath near the sports reserve, along approximately 340m to Parklakes Drive.

The Sunshine Coast has been recognised as one of the Top 7 Intelligent Communities of 2019, sharing the global spotlight with communities from Canada, Taiwan and the United States including Chicago.

I’m excited to share news of the start of the early clearing works, targeting weeds and invasive species, in the section between Driftwood Court and Wyanda Park. Actual pathway construction is expected to commence in late March, weather permitting.

Does your community organisation need funding to help make great things happen?

The existing carpark at the Meridan State College off Meridan Way will undergo a modification during January and be complete before the new school year begins on January 29.

I hope you all had a wonderful festive season with family and friends.

A much-loved destination on our Sunshine Coast is the Maroochy Bushland Botanic Garden which provides much more than many would expect.

Here’s a potentially extraordinary way to start 2019 – Horizon Festival is calling for participants from across our region to take part in the artwork titled Our People – Our Place which will combine portraiture, projection and sound, to feature a cross-section of the many individuals that make up our diverse local community.

It's only the first week of the new year, but we're all set to host the first of dozens of major events coming to our Sunshine Coast, Australia's regional capital for events, in 2019.

The recently released results from the 2018 Sunshine Coast Business Confidence survey have added to the optimism in our region as we head into a new year.
