USC signs agreement with Mooloolaba legal firm
The University of the Sunshine Coast and Munro Thompson Lawyers have signed an agreement which will lead to greater research into issues affecting the Sunshine Coast.
Munro Thompson recently funded a USC study into how the region will be affected by a huge increase over the next 15 years in the number of seniors (those aged 65 and over) living here.
The research, conducted by USC business lecturer Dr Scott Prasser, considered the housing, transport, safety, health and other needs of seniors in the years ahead.
It was presented at the third annual State of the Region Conference at the University on Tuesday 30 October, and was well received by 200 people, including top decision-makers, researchers and strategists from the public and private sectors.
The agreement will cement Munro Thompson’s support for future State of the Region Conferences, other USC initiatives and further research.
Mooloolaba-based Munro Thompson Lawyers have operated since 1982 and specialise in property law, business law, succession planning and community management law.
The company will celebrate its 25th anniversary and its agreement with USC at a special cocktail event at the University on Friday 9 November.
