Proposal to Create a Dark Sky Reserve on the Sunshine Coast

The Sunshine Coast is taking steps to preserve its exceptional night skies by pursuing designation as a Dark Sky Reserve, a part of the International Dark Sky Places Program aimed at combating light pollution. Light pollution, which threatens the quality of night skies as populations grow, has various negative impacts on community health, wildlife habitats, and local economies. The Sunshine Coast currently boasts several areas with pristine night skies, and the local council is actively exploring strategies to maintain this valuable natural resource through responsible lighting policies and public education.
