A Future Built on Sustainability and Prosperity
Dear Friends and Neighbours,
As we stand at the crossroads of our community's future, I, Michael Burgess, with a vision deeply aligned with our shared values of sustainability, economic prosperity, and community integrity.
🌱 Empowering Voices for a Sustainable Future
Understanding our collective responsibility to not only our generation but to those that follow, I pledge to establish Citizens' Committees. This initiative is more than a commitment to transparency; it's an invitation for each of you to directly shape the decisions that affect our lives and environment. Together, we will ensure that every voice is heard, and every concern addressed, maintaining the integrity and beauty of our beloved Sunshine Coast.
💼 Revitalizing Our Economy with a Conscience
Our economic revival plan stands on the pillars of sustainability and inclusivity:
- A forensic examination of the council's $450 million borrowing will ensure accountability and wise use of our resources, reflecting our commitment to fiscal responsibility.
- The New Economic Initiative Taskforce will pivot our economy towards sustainable industries, creating jobs that keep our youth local and contributing.
- The Western Sunshine Coast Economic Zone will harness the untapped potential of our hinterlands, promoting sustainable agriculture and energy production, reflecting our commitment to environmental stewardship and economic growth.
- The Sunshine Coast Housing Corporation will innovate our housing market, ensuring affordability and diversity, keeping our community accessible to all.
🏞 Safeguarding Our Community's Heart and Soul
In response to our shared concerns about over-development and its impacts, I propose:
- An Infrastructure Advisory Board to ensure development respects our community's character and environmental values.
- A Sociological Impact Group to study and address the effects of densification, preserving the quality of life we cherish.
- A Food & Local Energy Strategy to reduce our dependence on imports, bolstering our self-reliance and reducing environmental impacts.
🎯 Our Path to Sustainable Prosperity
Our campaign is a beacon for those who believe in a future where economic growth and environmental sustainability are not mutually exclusive but mutually reinforcing. It's a call to action for all who envision a Sunshine Coast that remains vibrant, diverse, and beautiful for generations to come.
I invite you to join me in this crucial Endeavor. Together, we can cultivate a community that thrives economically while holding steadfast to our values of sustainability and inclusivity.
Let's embark on this journey together, for a Sunshine Coast that leads by example in creating a sustainable, prosperous future for all.
