Mr Shadforth said governments had to prioritise funding them.
Mr Shadforth said Caloundra should receive the same funding and infrastructure as northern suburbs Maroochydore and Mooloolaba.
âIt is so far behind where it needs to be,â he said.
âCaloundra will be bigger than Buderim and we donât have the infrastructure to handle that.â
The population of the Sunshine Coast is forecast to grow to more than 500,000 people by 2041. Plans for a new town square, Otranto Ave street park, increased mixed-use development, a gateway into Bulcock St and improved community facilities will all help to shape the Caloundra CBD.
The majority of those new residents are expected to live between Maroochydore and Caloundra â known as the âenterprise corridorâ.
