OSCAR's aims

OSCAR is a non-partisan umbrella organisation representing those resident member associations that endorse OSCAR’s vision.

Our objects are to support member organisations by:

1. Advocating on policy issues that have a regional impact and are important to our members;

2. Taking action to resolve issues raised by members that have strategic and regional wide relevance and that fit with OSCAR's vision statement;

3. Representing the member organisations on regional wide matters of interest to the community; and

4. Maintaining a two way dialogue with member organisations to ensure relevance and responsiveness.

OSCAR's vision

OSCAR believes that the Sunshine Coast Regional Council must achieve social, economic and environmental sustainability – a vision favoured by the majority of residents.

This aim must be underpinned by actions, not just words, comprising:

Leadership and Governance

There is the need for responsible, informed and accountable leadership and ethical governance within local government decision making based on achieving the majority community vision.

Governance will become open and transparent. Residents will have access to reports and documents.

Broad community consultation must become routine and the results respected and acted upon.
