NEWS FROM LOCALS ON THE GROUND
While our home might be new, our web address will not change. Bookmark sunshinecoastdaily.com.au and you will be redirected to our new section under The Courier-Mail.
We know local news matters to you and that’s why it’s at the heart of what we do every day.
We’re locals who live here. Our team works hard to bring you the news because we love this region.
And as locals, we’re committed to helping you make the most of your new digital experience.
A FASTER SITE BASED ON READER FEEDBACK
This site is the culmination of many months and hundreds of hours of interviews with readers across Australia.
It’s been built to load much faster with cleaner article page layouts to make reading the news more enjoyable, with a lot less clutter.
Our Sunshine Coast Daily index page will provide the latest local coverage of all the things that matter: breaking news, police, courts, crime, business, development, council and community information.
You will also be able to easily find news from neighbouring regions, while Must See will include some of the top stories in Australia, updated throughout the day.
The page also features news from across Australia and the world.
You will also find key network stories in entertainment, lifestyle, sport, business and some of the top opinion writers in the country – all on the one page.
The digital edition of the Sunshine Coast Daily will continue to be found every day next to the police and courts section of our site.
If you click on that you will get a more newspaper-like “flip-book” experience, taking you through the top local stories, as well as Queensland and national stories, feature pages, puzzles, the TV page and shares.
You can also find The Courier-Mail digital edition top left of the blue navigation bar on the top of this page. Two for the price of one!
Of course, and just to reiterate, you will get the latest information on this site, so always worth bookmarking this sunshinecoastdaily.com.au.
NAVIGATING AROUND THE PAGE
As you click around local stories you will see at the top of the story, above the headline, there’s News>Queensland>Sunshine Coast. If you click on Sunshine Coast that will always take you back to the Sunshine Coast Daily page.
Clicking on the Sunshine Coast Daily logo, next to the author of the article, will also take you back to our local news landing page.
You can also just simply hit your back arrow in your browser.

DO I NEED A SUBSCRIPTION TO READ EVERYTHING?
While some of our stories from across the network are free, most of local coverage will be for subscribers only. Subscriptions help us to fund our journalism, keeping locals in a job.
We also recognise some families are doing it tough right now so our introductory offer is just $5 a month for the first three months, billed every four weeks.
That not only gives you access to the Sunshine Coast Daily and full Courier-Mail but also other News sites including the Herald-Sun, The Daily Telegraph, and regional titles from the crocodile-loving NT News to the award-winning Hobart Mercury.
The Courier-Mail also has a great app which you can download from App Store on IOS devices or in Google Play on Android devices.
While our local app has been discontinued, in coming weeks you will be able to personalise your Courier-Mail app to give priority to the local news.
That’s something you can already do on the mobile website by just going to couriermail.com.au on your mobile or iPad and following the links in the hamburger menu up the top right of your screen to My News.
The preferences you save on your desktop will also determine what you see on the mobile site. So follow local sections such as Sunshine Coast to access local news from your My News page.
Remember, if you get lost, you’ll always find your local news at sunshinecoastdaily.com.au.
