🌟 We Celebrated Culture, Creativity & Community! 🌟

The Sunshine Coast Council’s annual flag raising event on Kabi Kabi Country, Nambaa was a special day to celebrate and recognise the incredible history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

🎉 This year’s theme was all about YOU — the next generation. The event showcased amazing performances, art, and activities by First Nations young people.

👋 We were there too! Lots of you came by to chat with the Young Leaders Academy and Council crew, sharing what matters to YOU and your ideas to make the Sunshine Coast even better for young people.

🎁 You had your say and scored some cool stuff!
We had giveaways, a Lucky Dip, and some lucky legends even walked away with a $20 Sunshine Plaza gift card! 🤑🎉

About the Theme: NAIDOC Week 2025
This year marks 50 years of celebrating First Nations voices. The theme – “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy” – is all about honouring the past and empowering young leaders to shape the future. Together, we’re walking forward with pride, guided by culture, community, and connection.

🌿 Sunshine Coast Council proudly acknowledges the Kabi Kabi Peoples and Jinibara Peoples, the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters we all share.
