Sunshine Coast Council, emergency services and Sunshine Coast Surf Lifesaving have joined forces to launch a Sharing our Sunshine Coast campaign designed to encourage locals and visitors to be prepared and take care over the summer holiday period.

“Council is continuing to do all it can to support our community, just as we have throughout this turbulent year,” Mayor Jamieson said.
