Indigenous elders have called for climbing bans on Sunshine Coast mountains.

Sunshine Coast indigenous elders called for an Uluru-style ban on climbing sacred Sunshine Coast mountains.

There are no official moves to prohibit the climbing yet, however traditional owners have requested their beliefs to be shown more respect.

Tweed Shire Council’s indigenous heritage officer Rob Appo said “we'd prefer people not to climb [the mountains], particularly to the summit because that's where a lot of those stories focus on.”
