Other items considered include flood risk, access to services, proximity to infrastructure and urban centres (as well as many other factors). The land valuations do not take into account structural assets or property renovations for example. ▪️Land valuations are used to calculate state land tax and may inform rates. ▪️Figures released for residential land show that the Sunshine Coast recorded an overall median increase of 27% and localities north of the Maroochy River recorded significant above average growth in the two years from October 2023 to October 2025.

🗞️📰𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟮 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱What a blast from the past these photos are! Thanks to Councillor Taylor Bunnag - Division 8, Sunshine Coast Regional Council and his family for saving these very old newspapers from 1992 which covered the massive flooding that occurred in February 1992. “It’s rained a lot the last few days, but imagine 852mm of rain in 38hours? That’s what happened locally in February, 1992,” Cr Bunnag said. “Take a look at the historical photos of Coolum right through to Bradman Avenue under water. Some interesting information about stormwater in Pacific Paradise too. Hard to imagine that amount of water but it has happened and it’s that time of year.”▪️February seems to be a month of BIG wet weather events - we remember the 1992 and 1999 floods, and more recently there was the flooding in 2022. Are there any other ones we’ve forgotten and do you have any old photos? Let us know in the comments below 👇 ... See MoreSee Less
