MANAGEMENT of the Coast's most dangerous dogs will be a focus when Sunshine Coast Councillors meet in Caloundra.

Figures from last month showed the council was enforcing regulations on 59 declared dangerous and 32 declared menacing dogs in the region.

Councillors will on Thursday decide on plans for an inspection program which will give officers the power to enter properties to ensure dog owners are following the rules.

"Without a systematic inspection program, (the) council has no other way of confirming if a regulated dog is being kept in accordance with the conditions imposed... unless a complaint is received,” a council report read.

It said the council expected to collect about $40,000 in registration fees from regulated dog owners and spend about $27,500 implementing the inspection regime.

Registration fees for dangerous dogs will be $465 from October 1 while fees for menacing dogs will be $364.

The council will also decide on its environment and liveability policy at Thursday's meeting.

A 25-year plan for the region has been formulated after feedback was sought and received earlier this year.

Main points taken away from that feedback included the importance of retaining the distinct character of the Sunshine Coast as well as the distinct qualities of its "community of communities”.

"It (the plan) focuses on the natural environment and how it can be preserved and enhanced, as well as the liveability of the region,” a council report read.

Annual reports for the environment and transport levies as well as the first review of the 2017/2018 budget will also be discussed.

Members of the public will have to leave the meeting for confidential discussions on property acquisitions at Maroochy River, Maroochydore, Caloundra and Golden Beach.
