The Sunshine Coast is one of the fastest growing cities in the country - but faces many challenges.
One of the main reasons for this is that there is no 'plan' for this growth.
Planning a city's future is complex and fought.
Even among those who support growth or at least accept its going to happen - there's never agreement on what should happen, when, and how.....which is why 'planning' must be objective, and evidence-based - and the plan' should reflect not just the preferences, aspirations, and requirements of current residents, but also future residents.
grows is not is complex, and a 'rational' process which
ne of the main causes for this is the lack of involvement by the community in the planning of the Sunshine Coast. This is because governments, the professional (rational) town planning community (not just town planners), and educational/research institutions, have failed.
