Biosphere
Sunshine Coast Biosphere recognised internationally.
The Sunshine Coast local government area has is recognised internationally as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Sunshine Coast council, on behalf of our community, led the nomination for our region to be recognised by UNESCO as an international site of excellence, known as a Biosphere Reserve.
Council has a clear vision for what we’re hoping to achieve for our region. A UNESCO Biosphere credential supports us to protect and enhance our economy, lifestyle and environment for future generations. It aligns with our vision to be Australia’s most sustainable region.
Becoming a Biosphere Reserve gives the Sunshine Coast further national and international recognition and brings multiple benefits. Benefits relate to lifestyle, environment, economy and business, development and construction, partnerships, and agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and tourism. Our biosphere recognition will help local businesses grow while attracting more investment to our region. That means more jobs for local people.
