"Under the next five-year Implementation Plan, a suite of 40 actions will be delivered from 2019 to 2023 to drive greater opportunities and prosperity for the Sunshine Coast and its residents." Mayor Jamieson said.
Property Investors know that location is the most important factor for profitability in realty investments. Location plays a key factor in property valuation and importantly for investors - rental demand over the investment period.
What property investors see within the Sunshine Coast region is a solid mid-to-long-term commitment to: How it's going to evolve and prosper.
Since 2013, the Sunshine Coast Council has implemented initiatives identified within its Regional Economic Development Strategy. This has driven a significant shift in the performance of its economy.
During this time the Sunshine Coast economy grew by almost $5 billion, there are now more than 23,500 additional jobs in their high-value industries, more than 500 new businesses opening annually, and household incomes have increased by 25% based on the data available when the strategy was first released.
In addition, the Sunshine Coast region has $12.5 billion in public and private investment underway or in the pipeline fuelling growth in a number of industries across the region that are expected to generate increased long-term, careers for the local community.
It is no surprise that the Sunshine Coast now enjoys the second highest percentage of jobs growth in the State.
Building upon this momentum, “In the next five-year period, our new suite of region-shaping projects will continue to focus on the core architecture that our region needs to support its economic resilience and productivity." Mayor Jamieson said.
