Operation Mike Seddon commenced in August 2014 to crack down on drug networks and property crime in the region.
Fifteen homes were raided during the course of the operation, resulting in 15 people being charged, including five with drug trafficking.
Police say in total 30 drug and property related charges were laid.
Detective Inspector Dave Drinnen said a variety of stolen property was also recovered in the raids, including a boat at an Ipswich property.
He said the arrests would significantly stem the Sunshine Coast's drug supply.
"This operation clearly shows the strong links between drug and property crime," he said.
"It has been an outstanding success and will have a significant impact on the drug supply within the district.
"We're committed to reducing the negative impacts of dangerous drugs on our community and we will continue to dismantle these networks."
Police investigations are continuing.
