  • Council's Economic Development Strategy

    Steve Lawrence - Tuesday, December 01, 2009

    Have your say about Sunshine Coast Regional Council's Draft Economic Development Strategy

    Further information from Council Below:

    As you may be aware, yesterday Council endorsed its draft Economic Development Strategy for consultation with business and the community.

    The importance of the economy to the Sunshine Coast community was reflected in the process of developing Council's Corporate Plan, where the achievement of a robust economy was identified as being the highest priority for the region. Council has developed a draft strategy to address Council's role in economic development for the region.

    The goal for Council in terms of economic development is to have a mature, diversified economy based on our unrivalled quality of life, our natural environment and our commitment to sustainability. We aim to build our economy so that it is more resilient to the peaks and troughs of the economic cycle and for our businesses, our infrastructure and our technology to have a reputation for sustainability and success, both nationally and internationally.

    Visit our website to download the draft Economic Development Strategy, Action Plan and Factsheet.

    Between 19 November 2009 and 31 January 2010 Council is inviting feedback on the strategy. I realise you are extremely busy at this time, however, this is your opportunity to contribute to this document and Council's involvement in economic development within the region.

    There are a number of ways you can contribute to the draft strategy:

    1. Fill in the online feedback form

    2. Email your comments to economicdevelopment@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au

    3. Arrange to meet and have a discussion with us

    Phone: (07) 5475 8501

    Fax: (07) 5441 8338

    Submissions close 31 January 2010.

    Council will consider all feedback received and use it to inform the final Economic Development Strategy.
