The Sunshine Coast is one of the fastest growing regional economies in Australia. The University of the Sunshine Coast has stepped forward to become an anchor for the region. These are slides presented in a keynote address to the Sunshine Coast Futures Conference held at the University of the Sunshine Coast in December, 2014. You can learn more about the region here: http://sunshinecoastfutures.com.au
