Candidate information

During the next few months OSCAR will publish as much information as it can find on candidates for the Sunshine Coast electorates in the 2024 State elections due on 26 October 2024.

Note: OSCAR’s sharing of information about candidates in the state elections is not, and should not be seen as, endorsing or supporting any candidate mentioned in the candidate list below.

OSCAR’s focus will be on candidate and political party policies in relation to local government issues – these include, but are not limited to, local government reform, planning reform, transport policies and the environment.
