“Environment Levy”

It's time to have your say on draft plans for a coordinated approach to managing our coastal areas.

Join this free dog training session to keep our dogs and native wildlife safe.

Our region has 81 priority invasive plants and animals. This is how we can all help to manage them and protect our environment, economy and communities.

Have your say on the draft Shorebird Conservation Plan 2025-2030 before November 15, 2024.

Come along to Bat Night 2024 at the Maleny Showgrounds on Saturday, October 12, from 1pm-8pm.

A partnership project between Sunshine Coast Council and QUT has been awarded an Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellowship grant to develop a proven framework for classifying and mapping invasive plant species using drone-collected imagery.

It's a wrap on the Sunshine Coast's first Marine BioBlitz. Here is how it went.

Council is continuing early stages on the Sunshine Coast Ecological Park project in Maleny.

Thanks to ratepayers who contribute to Sunshine Coast Council’s Environment Levy Partnership Funding Program, 22 dedicated community groups will receive a share of $635,500 annually for the next three years.

Join us at Fraser Park, Golden Beach, on September 21, and at Cotton Tree Park, Maroochydore, on September 22, to learn about the amazing journey migratory shorebirds take to return to their summer home and the threats to survival they face.

Mature forests, lush gullies, habitat for endangered wildlife are now protected in a key location where our community gathers to enjoy the natural environment.

150 hectares will be protected for ground parrots, koalas, glossy black cockatoos and other threatened species in a new link for our coastal wildlife corridor.

If you are a thalassophile – a lover of the ocean – then get ready to take part in the inaugural Sunshine Coast Marine Bioblitz from August 30–31.

From July 8, the Environment Levy funded Landholder Environment Grants will open once again for expressions of interest for the 2024 funding round.

A parcel of untouched native bushland in the Sunshine Coast hinterland will be protected for conservation, supporting endangered koalas as well as the vulnerable glossy black cockatoo and Richmond birdwing butterfly.

The Sunshine Coast community has in a single year contributed millions of dollars for environmental rehabilitation, innovative education, research and key volunteer groups and partnerships.

The Sunshine Coast community is encouraged to register a helping hand and join a tree planting day that will supply sick and orphaned koalas with fresh leaves.
