The Sunshine Coast has welcomed “several incredible initiatives” that will protect the region’s precious environment and help it retain its enviable lifestyle. Sunshine Coast Council on Wednesday (September 21) released its Environment and Liveability Strategy Annual Report 2021/22, highlighting the organisation’s progress in creating Australia’s most sustainable region. Mayor Mark Jamieson said the report provided a comprehensive overview of council’s leadership and actions contributing towards a sustainable Sunshine Coast. “During the 2021/22 financial year, we continued to stay true to our vision and delivered several incredible initiatives,” Mayor Jamieson said. “The biggest of these was our international recognition as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve achieved in conjunction with our community. “As we preserve, protect and enhance our natural environment, council also continued its delivery of the Environment Levy Program and our commitment to grow our green spaces.
“From being recognised internationally as a biosphere, to strategic environment land acquisitions, planning for recreational outcomes, and developing pathways to respond efficiently and innovatively to a changing climate, the implementation of council’s award-winning Environment and Liveability Strategy is extensive.
