âThe Sunshine Coast ⦠is lagging behind Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Ipswich,â she said. âThis is not unusual; the Coast does tend to lag a couple of days behind the other markets, but we are seeing initial movements towards the discounting phase on the Sunshine Coast.â Ms Ritchie said motorist should be able to welcome in the New Year with cheaper prices. âWe do expect the coast will transition into that discounting phase in the coming days,â she said. âIt would be good news for early 2021 that we would start to see prices coming down.â Ten per cent of Coast sites are still selling unleaded for 145 or more whereas five per cent are selling for 114 or less.
