Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, recently<b> </b>delivered their Energy
Transition Plan to the Sunshine Coast Regional Council. The plan covers the
entire region of the Sunshine Coast located in Queensland, Australia which has
a population of 330,000+ and covers an area of more than 3100 square km (about
1,926 square miles). The plan is the first step in creating opportunities for
bottom up, top down cooperation between communities and their governing council
