Form of workThe Sunshine Coast is one of the largest and fastest-growing areas in Australia. With a thriving community and economy, the Sunshine Coast has continued to cement its place in the Australian landscape as a premier destination to both live and visit.
Continued population growth ensures that the demand for services will grow accordingly as it builds towards playing a pivotal part in hosting Brisbane 2032 and beyond to leave a positive legacy on a healthy, smart and creative region.
By 2046, the Queensland Government forecasts that the Sunshine Coast will reach a population of over 565,000 people, living in 232,000 dwellings. This represents an increase of 219,000 people and around 84,800 dwellings over 25 years (from 2021).
About Sunshine Coast Council and the branch
As one of the largest local governments in Australia, Sunshine Coast Council serves a population of over 370,000 people with an area exceeding 2,000 square kilometres.
With a clear corporate plan that sets out to deliver to the community a smart economy, strong community, healthy environment, service and excellence, and an outstanding organisation, they are well-set for the future.
This includes Council’s Integrated Transport Strategy (2018) which is supporting the design of our new neighbourhoods and adapting some of our existing neighbourhoods to incorporate and connect to planned major public transport corridors (Direct Sunshine Coast Line, Sunshine Coast Public Transport project), to make our region ‘transit supportive’, getting ‘transit ready’ and establishing the building blocks for a more sustainable future.
Within the Transport Network Management branch, they pride themselves on providing high-level asset management services for all road and related infrastructure assets including pavements, bridges, drainage, pathways, and street furniture. There is a need to build upon the continuous improvement culture and drive towards a high-performance team as part of the broader Council approach to Organisational Excellence.
