Bushland protection
Find out more about our plans to keep the Sunshine Coast’s natural environment healthy.
Our natural environment is part of what makes the Sunshine Coast so special. It’s also home to some rare and vulnerable plants and wildlife.
Council’s Environment and Liveability Strategy provides the framework for preserving and enhancing native plants, animals and their habitats to remain healthy, resilient and valued by all the community. Our measurable target is to maintain the 2016 extent of native vegetation (no net loss) by 2041.
The following plans support that goal and provide direction as we work with our community to nurture and enhance our environment and quality of life.
