As part of the Small Business Support Program,  Sunshine Coast Council  in partnership with industry is investigating possible impediments to local business success due to “red tape” issues. Council’s Economic Development Branch is seeking feedback on what specific “red tape” issues are currently or have historically impeded business success locally. Please email feedback to  economicdevelopment@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au  and include your name, business name, industry sector (eg health services, plumbing, retail etc) and contact details, as well as the “red tape” issue you have experienced. Council will collect the information and with industry input, determine how an approach might be made to the relevant legislator to argue a case for change.
