Policy Positions for 2024 Mayoral Campaign

By 2028, we envision the Sunshine Coast region as a thriving hub of innovation, sustainability, creativity and community engagement with close to 500,000 residents and a near $30billion economy.

With a focus on preserving the region's outstanding natural beauty, fostering economic growth and environmental values, we aim to create a vibrant ecosystem where businesses, residents, and visitors alike can thrive; our region is unique because celebrating community diversity has always been our difference. As custodians of our Sunshine Coast Biosphere we will activate our communities’ shared values, acting together to live, work, learn and play towards a future we can all be proud of.
