Sunshine Coast ECO News is designed to be an independent community forum; a newspaper that intends to report on the major issues affecting our current and future lives without fear or favour.

ECO aims to foster original thought and embrace quality communication in the vital areas of our environment and conservation.

A print version is distributed on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia with a circulation of 15,000, with special print runs up to 20,000. It is published bi-monthly by the Sunshine Coast Environment Council. ECO is printed by Beaudesert Times Pty Ltd. We use 100% recycled paper and soy based inks to help minimise our impacts.

ECO online is an extension of the print version and has the added benefit of reaching the online audience outside of the Sunshine Coast. While not displaying all the articles from the print version, ECO online will highlight special features and introduce links for further reading or research and at the same time allow active reader feedback. At times ECO online may feature articles that could not appear in the print version due to space requirements.
