Right now, we are writing a significant page in the history of our region. We are building a new economy, shaping a strong community and ensuring we remain second to none when it comes to our environmental credentials.
As one of Queensland’s fastest growing regions and in the nation’s top ten significant urban areas, the Sunshine Coast is fast becoming one of Australia’s leading city regions for the 21st century.
A smart, healthy, sustainable region – with its own identity but intimately connected to the world.
This is my vision for the Sunshine Coast – and I am working hard to make this vision a reality. Building on the past, being decisive now and charting a clear and prosperous future for our community.
We have a long and proud history on the Sunshine Coast – stretching back over many thousands of years during which the spectacular Glass House Mountains were formed and the peoples of the Kabi Kabi First Nation made this their home.
Today, we are a community that welcomes all and offers outstanding opportunities. Through the efforts of the Council I lead, we are building a Sunshine Coast that is a true economic powerhouse in an idyllic environment. A vision that is becoming the reality.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Mark Jamieson
Sunshine Coast
Sunshine Coast is a metropolitan area and the third most populated area in the Australian state of Queensland. Located 100 km north of the state capital Brisbane in South East Queensland on the Pacific Ocean coastline, its urban area spans approximately 60 km of coastline and hinterland from Pelican Waters to Tewantin. The estimated urban population of Sunshine Coast as at June 2014 was 297,380.,making it the 9th most populous in the country.
The area was first settled by Europeans in the 19th century with development progressing slowly until tourism became an important industry. The area has several coastal hubs at Caloundra, Kawana Waters, Maroochydore and Noosa Heads. Nambour and Maleny have developed as primary commercial centres for the hinterland.
