In this episode I chat with Councillor Tim Burns, who is the      Sunshine Coast Council Division 3 Councillor, for the Sunshine Coast Council in Queensland, Australia. Tim also shares the    Environment and liveability portfolio. We discuss the recently released Sunshine Coast Biodiversity Report, its positive aspects and the challenges we face to support biodiversity in a region with a rapidly growing population.
