The launch of the newest – and biggest – Sunshine Moments campaign has certainly captured the public’s attention, with the bold ‘Sunshine Sickie’ competition providing an innovative edge that has highlighted the region’s rejuvenating qualities.
Over 100 members attended the launch of the campaign at Novotel Sunshine Coast Resort, with speeches from Mayor Rosanna Natoli and Olliver Philpot from TEQ, which has provided funding support.
