Sunshine Coast Enterprises is an initiative of Sunshine Coast Regional Council.
Council is the sole shareholder and main source of operational funding.

Our formation in March 2006 followed extensive consultation with the business community of Caloundra and the southern Hinterland communities of Sunshine Coast. A voluntary Economic Development Taskforce formed by the former Caloundra City Council advocated for the establishment of the company.

The taskforce identified a need to diversify the local area industry base, to reduce dependence on cyclical tourism, retail and construction sectors, and to facilitate a professional, private sector-driven approach to economic development planning and implementation.
