As one of Queensland’s fastest growing regions and Australia’s top ten significant urban areas, the Sunshine Coast is becoming one of Australia’s leading city regions for the 21st century.

The Sunshine Coast is building a new economy based on a clear 20-year economic plan, which presents investors with multiple opportunities and opens new avenues
for business growth, development and expansion.

Significant capital investment is already underway. a new city centre - the only greenfield CBD in Australia at this time – will be established in Maroochydore and a new A$1.8 billion tertiary teaching hospital will open in 2017. The Sunshine Coast airport is to be expanded to deliver Australia’s next international airport and an A$81 million expansion of the university of the Sunshine Coast was completed in 2015.

More than A$2.5 billion in direct investment has been committed across these four major projects, in addition to significant private investment fuelling growth in a number of high-value industries across the region.

The Sunshine Coast is also well connected, with road, rail, sea and air links providing a direct gateway to local, national and global markets.
