Governance
The Sunshine Coast Biosphere is part of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves administered internationally through United Nations Man and the Biosphere programme, and in Australia through the Man and the Biosphere National Committee.
In our Sunshine Coast Biosphere, we have two governance bodies, that manage the implementation on behalf of the Sunshine Coast community. Administrative support is provided by council.
