10. About the Scenic Rim Region
    1. Scenic Rim is a unique and truly special region, in the heart of South East Queensland. Known for its spectacular scenery, robust economy, strong community spirit and fascinating history, the region is growing and this plan seeks to maintain quality of life for our residents while creating new opportunities for the region.
    2. The region covers an area of 4,254 km2 and is located within South East Queensland. Scenic Rim encompasses the region’s chain of mountains, plateaus and peaks that extends from the coastal hinterland in the east to the Great Dividing Range in the west. Scenic Rim Regional Council was formed in 2008, following local government amalgamations.
    3. Built on the strength of its natural features and landscape, its strategic location and its lifestyle attributes, the Scenic Rim’s success will be defined by a diversity of competitive businesses, a skilled and capable workforce, a vibrant visitor economy and thriving communities. The Scenic Rim is geographically in a unique position within the broader South East Queensland region and indeed the State.
    4. While Beaudesert is the site of the main Council offices, the region has many other towns, each with their own character and history. The region has strong connections to other centres across South East Queensland including Ipswich (through the Cunningham Highway), Logan (through the Mount Lindesay Highway) and the Gold Coast (through Tamborine Oxenford Road and Beaudesert Nerang Road). The main centres of Beaudesert, Canungra, Boonah and Tamborine Mountain act as key service centres for the region and are generally aligned to their main transport linkages.
    5. The regional economy is diverse in nature and is reliant upon the sectors of agriculture, tourism, key service sectors and construction, which service the ongoing population growth. The region has a vibrant and growing tourism sector as well as a budding wine, craft beer and spirits industry. In the western portion of the region, vegetables, cattle and dairy farming are the leading industries. The central section of the region caters for manufacturing and industrial activities as well as turf farming.
    6. Community spirit and the strength and resilience of the region’s residents is celebrated as something which makes the region special. The area has strong identity and, as Scenic Rim welcomes new residents and businesses, the region will continue to evolve and change. Understanding these changes will help guide Council in planning future service delivery.
