The Sunshine Coast was in the news recently – for all the right
reasons! And those reasons should be why you choose Sunshine Coast

the dip in the Australian dollar.
The Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics
(BITRE) reported that Sunshine Coast Airport was the fastest growing
airport in Australia during the year to September 2015, with 13.8%
growth in passengers. That trend continued in November, with Sunshine

for their stay.
