Surfing Super League is coming to the Coast in 2028. 8 local teams including 1 from the Sunshine Coast. Surfing now attracts millions into the Sunshine Coast economy, without 1 expense or impact to ratepayers, residents, marine life or the beach environment. The blue economy is barely given a thought here on the Sunshine Coast, but it should be a prime focus. How do we protect the waves, how do we preserve our beaches so we have surf beaches & how do we ensure sand movement has natural progression essential in wave formation? Beach management & coastal management needs to incorporate this into studies like surf impact studies we’ve been pushing for years. Maybe now there is the potential of so much money & global focus from this event being televised around the world, we may see the shift in coastal management we’ve been asking for.
