Maroochy 2025 - Maroochy Shire Residents Vision for the Future

Maroochy Shire Council has periodically polled the Shire residents to determine on future directions. The most recent polling was conducted in connection with Maroochy 2025.  Maroochy 2025 was a "visioning exercise" which was to be ongoing to the year 2025.  What has been developed is comprehensive compilation of what the majority of Maroochy residents strongly want, hope and aspire to be for their community in 2025.

The Maroochy 2025 Vision Statement -
From the Mary River Valley over the Blackall Ranges to the Pacific Ocean, Maroochy Shire on the Sunshine Coast is a place that our connected community is proud to call home. We, Maroochy's residents, live in harmony alongside our clean waterways, beaches, and our diverse bush and farmlands. We respect and protect these natural places because they are home to our valued wildlife; they nurture our wellbeing, our physical and community needs and our economy.
We are happy, healthy, safe, productive, creative and empowered. Learning, sharing knowledge and experiences, inspiring each other and together making decisions is our way of life. Our leadership is responsive and is focused on building trust and a better inclusive future whilst holistically providing for our basic needs in the present.
Maroochy's distinct towns and villages are designed to minimise energy-use, resource use, and environmental impacts. Our communities are connected by efficient public transport, and walk and cycle paths. Maroochy's viable rural and urban economies mutually benefit each other to protect our natural assets and provide diverse long-term employment. We have a unique 'Bush and Beach' culture; we know this and we actively care for it and for each other.

Full details of the aspirations of Maroochy Shire residents can be found on the Maroochy 2025 website.
