Big Region ... Big Plans?

The new amalgamated Sunshine Coast region is the fourth largest regional local government in Queensland, and one of the largest in Australia. With a population of 300,000 expected to grow to 500,000 by 2026, the Sunshine Coast needs big plans to ensure its success, preserve its unique features, expand its business opportunities, and diversify its economy.

Join the new Mayor of Sunshine Coast Regional Council, Cr Bob Abbott, at this gathering of influential business, government and community leaders at the 2008 St George Bank State of the Region Summit and:

  • hear the highly respected commissioned researchers share the latest research and analysis of international, national and regional trends affecting business, the community and the environment;
  • exchange views with expert speakers and panels on how the Sunshine Coast region can move to a future beyond merely 'keeping up';
  • help identify and plan three new regional strategies that need to be implemented by 2011.
