FREE Tree Events and BushCare Working Bees



In just seven years, the world’s eyes will turn to the Sunshine Coast for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Sunshine Coast Council will be celebrating this important milestone with 7 Years to Grow - an exciting initiative to green our backyard and work towards a more sustainable region in 2032 and beyond.

From the 23rd July to 5th September, 7 Years to Grow will see:
•Twenty FREE tree events across the region, hosted by local Councillors
•Nine BushCare working bees to plant and regenerate local bushland
•Ninety-two trees to be planted along Sportsmans Parade and the east bank of Lake Kawana as part of the Council’s street tree program
