Sunshine Coast Council

A big congratulations to our very own local winner, Mark Skinner of Mountain Creek who was recently awarded senior citizen of the year at the Sunshine Coast Australia Day Awards.

If your New Year’s resolution is to improve your health and wellbeing, consider council’s free or low-cost Healthy Sunshine Coast fitness classes.

Already fully booked until late January, the Mooloolaba Beach Holiday Park is set to once again welcome guests.

I am a huge supporter of local sports clubs and one of the best parts of serving the Division 6 community is making sure that your ratepayer money goes back towards helping our local community with grass root projects.

I love nothing more than seeing families and friends enjoying an active and healthy lifestyle together, whether that be kicking a ball, swinging in the park or enjoying a picnic. With that in mind, something very exciting is coming to the Glenfield's Neighbourhood Park at Mountain Creek in the near future.

The Brisbane Road Car Park at Mooloolaba is being reconfigured as Sunshine Coast Council gears up to construct a multi-deck car park on the north-western half of the site.

Healthy Sunshine Coast has partnered with Venue 114 to offer community yoga at the venue’s Lakeside Stage. The one hour sessions are held on Thursdays from 6am. This series kicked off on 3 October and will run each week until 28 November. Classes are $5. You can pay as you go or book online for the whole nine weeks.

I had the pleasure to check out the Falcons fantastic new change rooms at the Sunshine Coast Stadium precinct. The new $550,000 change rooms were funded by council and the Queensland Government’s Queensland Footy Facilities Fund.

I’m pleased to see that work has already begun on the Stringybark Road pedestrian crossing and refuge. Street lighting will also be installed at the crossing to increase pedestrian safety

Mooloolaba’s natural beauty and relaxed lifestyle have been reflected in the detailed design for the Mooloolaba foreshore, released last month.
