Administrative and Health Advisories

Rates Notices: Property owners are reminded that the January–June 2026 rates notices were issued last month. Residents who have not yet received their notice are encouraged to contact the Council’s revenue department. Payment arrangements must be finalized in accordance with the due dates listed to avoid late interest charges.

Public Health soil safety: Following recent localized wet weather, Queensland Health reminds residents to practice "soil safety" during outdoor cleanup or gardening. It is recommended to wear protective gloves and waterproof footwear to prevent exposure to soil-borne pathogens, such as melioidosis, particularly in areas where recent excavation or land clearing has occurred.

Civic Announcement: Council welcomes the Queensland Maroons to the region this month, as the Sunshine Coast serves as the high-performance training hub for the 2026 season. Minor traffic increases may be observed near major sporting precincts during scheduled training sessions.
