By Sandy Zubrinich, Sunshine Coast Business Council Chair

Sunshine Coast Business Council Chair Sandy Zubrinich today congratulated the new LNP State Government on its win over the weekend.

“Congratulations to the LNP and our successful regional candidates who secured a win in this weekend’s election,” Ms Zubrinich said.

“This is a pivotal time for Queensland, given decisive action is required to address the current housing crisis, accommodate the state’s continued population growth, heavy rail between Brisbane and Maroochydore and to determine the way forward to successfully host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in just eight years.

“We strongly support the new LNP government prioritising the Queensland housing crisis, as we know a lack of housing – particularly affordable housing – continues to impact everything from economic growth to workforce availability and the community’s wellbeing.   

“My board and I look forward to working closely with the state representatives as we strive to bolster the Sunshine Coast economy, generate more local jobs and attract infrastructure investment to address the rapidly changing needs of our region.

“The Sunshine Coast Business Council remains committed to collaborating with all levels of government to foster an environment where businesses, industry and communities can thrive together.

“Congratulations to those who retained their seats and to the new candidates in the region.  We look forward to engaging with you in the coming weeks as we share more about the Sunshine Coast Business Council’s role in the region.”
