The Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast is sunny by name and sunny by nature. The dynamic region boasts spectacular natural assets, with more than 100km of famous coastline wrapping around our lush hinterland hills. The Sunshine Coast was announced as the #1 most loved destination on the planet in January 2022, according to the inaugural Tourism Sentiment Index.
The Biosphere
The Sunshine Coast Biosphere is not just a place; it’s a commitment to a sustainable future. Recognised internationally by UNESCO, the Sunshine Coast is part of a world network of biosphere reserves. These reserves showcase how communities and nature can live in harmony together. The Sunshine Coast Biosphere is a way of life, caring for our environment, creating thriving communities and growing the local economy supported by a community committed to living sustainably, celebrating all things local, and sharing the picturesque landscapes and abundance of produce.
Healthy, Smart and Creative
The Sunshine Coast offers opportunities in a diverse range of growth industries, an emerging city centre which is already becoming a vibrant commercial and leisure precinct and a local government that supports new and existing businesses to establish and grow.
Over the past 15 years, economic growth on the Sunshine Coast has outperformed almost every other regional economy in Australia. The booming economy is being propelled forward by a highly educated, highly motivated workforce and a uniquely entrepreneurial culture.
With a strong connection to sport, recreation and culture, the Sunshine Coast offers a range of state-of-the-art sporting facilities and entertainment venues and hosts a variety of major and regional events year-round.
