State Election priorities for our region

Sunshine Coast Council's request to all 2024 State election parties.


The 2024 State general election will be held on 26 October 2024. The outcome of the election will shape the future of Queensland, and the future of our Sunshine Coast.

Council is seeking more efficient, accessible and reliable public transport, easing traffic congestion, investment in innovation and social housing support.

Council had developed a small number of succinct advocacy priorities, including:

  1. A State government commitment to fund the $6.5 billion required to extend the proposed Direct Sunshine Coast rail line to Maroochydore before 2032.
  2. A State government commitment to fund and deliver the $160 million Mooloolah River Interchange upgrade.
  3. $25 million to support the establishment of the Sunshine Coast Innovation Hub in Maroochydore CBD and upgraded University Innovation Centre to deliver significant jobs and economic benefits to Queensland.
  4. Support for social housing – increase the percentage of social housing in the Sunshine Coast region from 1.9 per cent to 5 per cent over the next term of the Queensland Government.
  5. A State government commitment that Halls Creek will be removed as a Potential Future Growth Area and included within the Northern Inter-urban Break of the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2023 so that this area is prevented from being developed in the future.
