It’s important for us to care for the environment.

This means we need to think about if projects for the Games:

• are good for the environment
• can last a long time.

There are rules about what we need to do to protect the environment.

But we want to do more than we have to.

We are the first UNESCO Biosphere to help host the Games.

A UNESCO Biosphere is a special place where people and nature live and work together.

We want to protect the UNESCO Biosphere for a long time.

We want our Blue Heart community project to do well.

Blue Heart looks after and protects an area of land that can sometimes flood.

We will work with the Games to make sure all projects are better for the environment than the rules say they should be.

This includes the Sunshine Coast Stadium.

We will plan and build new trails between areas of the Sunshine Coast that are important for the Games.

This includes the Sunshine Coast Mountain Bike Centre.

We will plan new activities for visitors that are good for the environment.

We will run a Biosphere festival every year that celebrates:

• people
• nature.

We will support the community to plant trees and plants every year.
