Sunshine Coast Biosphere
Celebrating our region, our people and nature.
Sunshine Coast Council is committed to protecting and enhancing our region, our communities, our economy and our natural assets.
On behalf of the community, Sunshine Coast Council developed a nomination for our region to be recognised by UNESCO as an international site of excellence, known as a biosphere.
Our region has gained international recognition as a special place, joining a world network of UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. The region now proudly stands as an international site of excellence and an area of natural beauty.
Being a biosphere gives the Sunshine Coast further national and international recognition as well as generate niche markets for products, services, facilities and practice.
