Sunshine Coast Coastal vs Hinterland Landscaping

Sunshine Coast coastal properties (Noosa, Mooloolaba, Caloundra) need salt-tolerant species and well-draining sandy soil management. Sunshine Coast hinterland (Maleny, Montville, Mapleton) is cooler and wetter, a completely different plant palette works here: English cottage garden plants, subtropical rainforest species, and cool-climate ornamentals. Sunshine Coast Council has a Strong Roots program supporting local native plant use in landscaping across the Sunshine Coast LGA. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au
