Sunshine Coast shining success again
NOOSA – The Sunshine Coast is back in business following the recent oil spill off South East Queensland last week.
A comprehensive clean-up has seen 16 of the Sunshine Coast’s 19 patrolled beaches opened with a full recovery of all beaches expected by the end of the week.
Tourism Sunshine Coast, CEO, Russell Mason, said that while the impact of the oil spill was considered to be minimal to the region, the extensive and responsive clean-up process had protected the Sunshine Coast’s natural environment.
“It’s very much business as usual for the Sunshine Coast in readiness for the Easter holiday period,†said Mason.
The oil spill did little to stop normal activity on the Coast with scheduled events still attracting strong visitation across the region.
Events such as this week’s Noosa Festival of Surfing have attracted strong crowds and remain unaffected.
Likewise Mooloolaba beach awaits a record field to contest the 17th Mooloolaba Triathlon Festival to be held March 27-28.
