Sunshine Coast Council’s (SCC’s) 2026-27 Budget sets out a program of infrastructure upgrades, road improvements, community facilities and everyday services, while responding to rising costs across the region. Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the budget was shaped by feedback from residents, community groups and the Sunshine Coast’s first Citizens’ Panel, with a focus on financial responsibility and ensuring every dollar delivers value.
Adopted at a special meeting on 1 June, the budget includes investment in public spaces, transport, environmental protection, business centre revitalisation and community partnerships. It also highlights local projects in the hinterland, including upgrades to North Arm Rd, parking improvements near North Arm School, a streetscape upgrade in Kenilworth and renewed amenities at Eumundi Aquatic Centre.
For most owner-occupier ratepayers, rates will rise by $4.26 a week, or $221.68 a year, following a State Government land revaluation that lifted property values across the Sunshine Coast by an average of 24%. Mayor Natoli said council had worked hard to manage the impact, while acknowledging the pressure many households are already facing.
She said the budget balanced immediate service needs with long-term planning for the region’s future. To ease cost-of-living pressures, council has increased pensioner concessions and will offer 6-month, interest-free payment plans for residents who need support, once rates notices are issued in July.
