The Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) is the regional government serving the residents of the Sunshine Coast. Formed in 1967, the SCRD is one of 27 regional districts that were designed to establish a partnership between electoral areas and member municipalities within their boundaries. The municipalities and electoral areas in the SCRD are:

The District of Sechelt
Town of Gibsons
Sechelt Indian Government District
Electoral Area A – Egmont/Pender Harbour
Electoral Area B - Halfmoon Bay
Electoral Area D - Roberts Creek
Electoral Area E - Elphinstone
Electoral Area F - West Howe Sound
The purpose and roles of a regional district include:

Providing good government for the communities it serves.
Providing services that the board considers as necessary or desirable for all or a part of its communities.
Providing stewardship of public assets within its communities.
Fostering the current and future economic, social and environmental well-being of member communities.
Through the electoral area and municipal partnerships, the SCRD provides services that can be regional (supplied to the whole region), inter-municipal (supplied to two or more members within the region) or local (provided to electoral areas, or within a subset of an electoral area, within the region).
