Our History

 
Glasshouse Country News was established in May 1986 as a sister paper to the Maleny News. At that time the newspaper was printed on the second and fourth Fridays of the month.

With the Glasshouse Country region's rapid growth and development, along with the increasing amount of activities that were happening locally, the newspaper eventually becoming a weekly publication producing 48 editions per year (with a break over Easter and Christmas).

Over the years the format has had some major changes in look and feel but otherwise the underlying approach is still the same. Glasshouse Country News is a local newspaper that focuses on the lives, events and activities of the local community.

Originally, the distribution area covered from Beerburrum to Landsborough and in more recent times the circulation has expanded to incorporate the townships of Mooloolah, Glenview and Palmview.  
 
As the entire focus of the newspaper is on the local Glasshouse Country region, it has the most in-depth coverage of local stories and issues and, as a result, is the most widely read paper by the local community.
