The Sunshine Coast will host the 2025 Australian Coastal Councils Conference, sharing learnings in coastal sustainability, climate resilience and community-focused adaptation strategies, while fostering national collaboration on managing Australia’s changing coastlines.

Faced with rising costs, Sunshine Coast Council’s 2025–26 Budget takes a measured approach – limiting rate increases, supporting vulnerable residents, and investing in safer roads, parks, and essential services. It’s a budget shaped by community priorities, focused on protecting our lifestyle and planning for a connected, liveable and thriving future.

A 17-hectare Cooloolabin property, once degraded by logging and farming, has been transformed into a thriving wildlife corridor thanks to landholder Julia and Sunshine Coast Council’s Landholder Environment Grants. Applications for 2025 grants open July 7, supporting rural landowners in restoring biodiversity and protecting the region’s natural environment.

Sunshine Coast Council acknowledges the Sunshine Coast Country, home of the Kabi Kabi peoples and the Jinibara peoples, the Traditional Custodians, whose lands and waters we all now share. We wish to pay respect to their Elders – past, present and emerging, and acknowledge the important role First Nations people continue to play within the Sunshine Coast community.
