A partnership between @CouncilSCC & @usceduau will reduce hot spots as the Sunshine Coast braces for a future of soaring temperatures due to climate change.
On #wtpd2022, this is a great example of how planning makes a real difference to quality of life!

Fantastic Patrick. Since working with you, I constantly re-evaluate any stories/tales that I come across: what was their basis? Fascinating work...
