The UniSC Sunshine Coast campus is a flora and fauna reserve, spread over 100 hectares (1 km2) adjoining the Mooloolah River National Park. In 2013, the University became a Land for Wildlife member with the Sunshine Coast Council to further commit to managing a large proportion of the site as habitat for native plants and animals.

In this stream, we can primarily hear the dawn chorus of Rainbow Lorikeets in their favourite trees on campus. The UniSC Sunshine Coast campus is in the heart of the newly UNESCO recognised Sunshine Coast Biosphere Reserve.
