Consultation closed on Monday, 10 June 2024.

Background

Council adopted the Sunshine Coast Community Strategy 2019-2041, and supporting Action Plan 2019-2024, in 2019.

In 2023, after four years and substantial change in our community, Council began a project to refresh the Community Strategy and develop new actions to achieve by 2029.

Significant input from the Sunshine Coast community has shaped the refreshed strategy and identified priority actions.

Between 14 May to 10 June 2024, Council invited feedback on the draft refreshed Community Strategy.
