The Sunshine Coast has unique and diverse open spaces ranging from beaches, rivers, bush and mountains to recreation parks, sports grounds and recreation trails.
Sunshine Coast Council is the local government authority of the magnificent Sunshine Coast region, Queensland Australia, providing many of the services and facilities used by 46,000 residents and visitors.
SCC strives to improve the liveability of our community and is increasingly involved in the social, economic and cultural development of our Community – as well as traditional service provision such as public health, building regulation, town planning, parks, sports and leisure facilities, library services, water, sewerage and roads.
Recreation parks, sports grounds and environment reserves are important to the Sunshine Coast lifestyle. Most of us use open space every day for varied activities. It might consist of a walk in the bush or on the beach, lunch in the park, playing soccer with your team, taking a painting class at a scenic lookout or escaping the noise and bustle of our everyday life. Go to Adventure Sunshine Coast and search for your fav0urite activity.
On the Sunshine Coast, we have been blessed with an abundance of natural assets, rich and diverse landscape, natural beauty and strong cultural identity. Our unique and distinctive communities, our economic advantage and our relaxed lifestyle are bound together in an affinity with this natural environment.
Open space means many different things to different people. Yet it is the openness of this space that provides opportunities and benefits for the community and nurtures our wellbeing. Open space plays an important role in strengthening local character, bringing the community together, keeping our residents active and healthy, and providing creative places.
Through regular consultation with the community, Council understands that the community highly values our parks, sports grounds and reserves and recognises the need for them to be protected and well planned. It is Council’s intention to ensure that our parks, sports grounds and reserves are accessible and inviting for everyone and provide all users with a fulfilling experience.
