“Our region is well known for its outstanding natural beauty – pristine hinterland, the majestic Glasshouse Mountains and beautiful world-class beaches – and we have a long history of food and agricultural production where the quality of our products has always been at the top of the range,” Mayor Mark Jamieson said.

“The Curated Plate brings these two elements together in perfect synergy to capture something that locals have known for a very long time.

“We are indeed, the quintessential ‘foodie’ destination – and that will be on show for all to see.”

The event is an initiative of Sunshine Coast Council and supported by the Sunshine Coast Food and Agribusiness Network (FAN) and Visit Sunshine Coast. It is supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland and features on the It’s Live! in Queensland events calendar.
