Draft Rural Futures Strategy

Council has recently released a Draft Rural Futures Strategy for public comment.

The draft strategy provides a framework for supporting the growth and prosperity of the rural communities of the Sunshine Coast. It sets out a range of activities that will help strengthen and enhance the existing role of the Hinterland as an area of outstanding natural beauty and vitality, and as a location:

• for agriculture production
• as a tourism destination
• for a range of economic opportunities
• as a lifestyle area
• that fosters community cohesion

The consultation period is open from 7 January 2013 until 22 February 2013.

Further details and a copy of the Draft Strategy can be found on council's website.
