Botanic garden review
Moreton Bay Regional Council will investigate further its options in relation to botanical gardens and horticultural values for the region.
This follows a request to council from the Queensland division of the Society for Growing Australian Plants for a regional botanic garden to be established in the area.

The society said amalgamation of the former councils of Pine Rivers, Caboolture and Redcliffe brought together a logical grouping of natural environments covering the catchments of rivers and streams that flowed into Moreton Bay.
The organisation said there now was a significant opportunity to research and assess the diverse eco-systems of the related plant communities under the control of one local government agency.
Parks committee chairman, Cr Gary Parsons, said council’s investigations would include examining areas of significant botanic and horticultural values under its control or under the control of a state government agency.
He said the society had also suggested the council adopt a floral emblem for the region and this would be considered when a logo was selected for the Moreton Bay Regional Council.
