Connecting with CQU
We recently had a meeting Brett Langabeer, Head of Campus at CQU Noosa recently to talk about council's Economic Development Strategy and in particular, the education industry and relevant investment initiatives. During the discussions it was clear there were some opportunities for greater collaboration between CQU’s Noosa campus and Sunshine Coast Council. With the future of the Sunshine Coast tied to high value industries and services, it was evident that there were opportunities for an even closer alignment between the university's courses and the high value industries outlined in the strategy. Following this meeting, the university campus will continue to work with council and the education sector to further investment and study opportunities.
