Sunshine Coast residents will be able to provide feedback on a variety of Sunshine Coast Council projects in 2024.

Council’s economic and community development group executive Greg Laverty outlined some of the topics that locals can voice their opinions about, via the Have Your Say Sunshine Coast online platform.
