A warm welcome  

As the official Regional Tourism Organisation for the Sunshine Coast, our focus is to attract visitors to the region and support our tourism industry to SHINE. We are a member-based organisation of more than 500 passionate tourism businesses that work together to build the Sunshine Coast brand and provide world-class experiences to our visitors.

In doing so, the tourism sector on the Sunshine Coast continues to support more than 25,000 jobs and pumps billions into the local economy every year. In fact, in 2022 visitors spent a record $5 billion on the Sunshine Coast. It’s a particularly impressive statistic when you consider that before COVID-19 the figure was only $3.7 billion per annum. But while it’s a time to be confident, it’s certainly not a time to be complacent as competition from other destinations is increasing and cost of living pressures continue to build for households.

For that reason more than ever we need to live by our ‘Team Sunshine Coast’ mantra. That is, through working together, we are more than a group of individual tourism businesses, we are a destination with a common brand and shared direction. This will help us to remain competitive, stay at the top of our game and kick plenty of goals along the way.

It will also help us make the most of the opportunities that come our way. This includes the “B’s” of: BRISBANE 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, becoming the only place in Australia where three UNESCO BIOSPHERES sit sideby-side and of course becoming HQ to Australia’s newest airline BONZA!

We invite you to become a member of VSC to access our programs and services that you can read more about in this booklet. We look forward to welcoming you as a member in 23/24 and can’t wait to work with you… For real

Visit Sunshine Coast acknowledges the Sunshine Coast Country, home of the Kabi Kabi peoples and the Jinibara peoples, the Traditional Custodians, whose lands and waters we all now share. We wish to pay respect to their Elders – past, present and emerging, and acknowledge the important role First Nations people continue to play within the Sunshine Coast community.

Former Test cricketer Michael Slater denied bail over domestic violence charges

The 54-year-old faces 19 charges relating to alleged incidents on the Sunshine Coast between December and April

Former Australian Test cricketer Michael Slater will remain behind bars after being refused bail in a Sunshine Coast court.

Slater is facing 19 charges relating to alleged offences perpetrated on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast on various dates between 5 December 2023 and 12 April.

The 54-year-old was represented by a legal aid duty lawyer in applying for bail in the Maroochydore magistrates court on Tuesday after a brief mention in the same court the previous day.

Slater is charged with domestic violence offences of unlawful stalking or intimidation, breaking into a dwelling with intent at night, common assault, assault occasioning bodily harm and choking or suffocation.

The former opening batsman and TV commentator is also charged with breaching bail and 10 counts of contravening a domestic violence order.

Police confirmed they arrested a 54-year-old Noosa Heads man at a Sunshine Coast address on Friday following alleged domestic violence incidents over several days.

Slater was remanded in custody, with his case due to be mentioned in the same court on 31 May.

After making his debut during the 1993 Ashes tour, Slater played 74 Tests for Australia, amassing 5,312 runs at an average of 42.83 with 14 tons.

He also played 42 one-day internationals.

Slater retired from cricket in 2004, embarking on a successful TV commentary career.
