The Crisafulli Government will also update the community on how it is making the Sunshine Coast safer, delivering health services when you need them, delivering a better lifestyle through a stronger economy and a plan for the region’s future.  

Since being elected to deliver a Fresh Start for the Sunshine Coast after Labor’s decade of decline, the Crisafulli Government has:

Premier David Crisafulli said the Sunshine Coast would be the location of the year’s first Community Cabinet.  

“We are continuing to deliver the fresh start we promised for the Sunshine Coast, including restoring safety where you live, easier access to health services, a place to call home for more Queenslanders and cost of living pressures,” Premier Crisafulli said.  

“Community Cabinet is an opportunity to meet and hear from the Cabinet about progress of how we’re delivering for not only Caloundra, but the wider Sunshine Coast.”
