and self sustaining economic base that maximises job creation and employment
options and builds economic strength and resilience;
• facilitate new and revitalised business, industry, tourism and enterprise activities
as a major focus for innovation, investment and local job opportunity.
• identify a range of regional enterprise areas across the Sunshine Coast including
the Sunshine Coast Airport Enterprise Precinct;
• protect and provide for the further development of the Sunshine Coast Airport as
a major element of economic infrastructure and a significant contributor to the
local economy; and
• continue to provide and plan for the provision of infrastructure necessary to
support economic development including transport, telecommunications, open
