The question of how to invigorate the region’s night-time economy has been put under the microscope at a Meet the Mayoral Candidates forum.
Each of the six mayoral candidates for Sunshine Coast Council was asked ‘What is your strategy for ensuring the Sunshine Coast develops a strong events, attractions and nightlife scene?’ at the event, which was a partnership between Caloundra Chamber of Commerce, Sunshine Coast News and My Weekly Preview.

It comes after a lack of transport, financial pressures and changes in consumer behaviour were identified among the challenges in a report prepared by the University the Sunshine Coast.
This was the third and final question posed to the candidates at the forum, with each candidate given one minute to respond. Scroll down to see more videos from the event, held at Caloundra Power Boat Club.
