As a proud advocate for our community, City of Moreton Bay looks forward to working with Premier Crisafulli and our local state representatives to deliver on key election commitments that will strengthen our community and drive local progress.

With ten local state members in our area, we commit to championing the needs of our community with each of them, ensuring that every voice across Moreton Bay is heard. Together, we will continue to build on the potential of this incredible region and create a thriving future for all residents. Here’s to a new chapter of growth and partnership!

We have called on all parties and candidates to address our key election asks for City of Moreton Bay. On the eve of the state election, we welcome the commitments by the two major parties to future-proof our city. We’ll continue to work hard to ensure we receive our fair share of funding, because City of Moreton Bay matters. See commitments made via our election commitment tracker here 👉 https://ow.ly/szlr50TT3Pf+

The Buchanan Road Overpass and Corridor Investment is critical infrastructure to support our growth and connect Moreton Bay’s transport networks to major state roads. Upgrading to a four-lane arterial road between the Bruce Highway and Morayfield Road will provide a vital east-west link across our city. We welcome the Labor Party's commitment, if elected, to fund the Buchanan Road business case, complementing the Queensland Government’s $7 million contribution towards the detailed design phase. For more detailed information on the commitments made from each party, view our election commitment tracker online here 👉 https://ow.ly/ULLX50TT2U9+

Copper theft is rising at an alarming rate, putting significant financial burden on our sporting clubs, organisations, and ratepayers. We welcome the Labor Party's commitment to changing legislation, if elected, ensuring that copper sales only go through licensed scrap metal dealers, with all transactions made electronically. Queensland is the only eastern state without these ‘no cash for scrap’ measures in place under the Second-hand Dealers and Pawnbrokers Act 2003.

We are excited to announce that the City of Moreton Bay has been selected as the first host destination partner in Queensland for the prestigious ProVelo Super League Q Tour. 🚵 From 21 to 23 March 2025, over 300 elite athletes from Australia and overseas will compete across some of Moreton Bay's most scenic roads in what promises to be an exhilarating finale to the inaugural PSL season. “This event is expected to attract more than 300 elite athletes from Australia and overseas and inject an estimated $750,000 into our local economy,” said Mayor Peter Flannery. “City of Moreton Bay is establishing itself as an attractive and supportive destination for high-calibre international sporting events like the ProVelo Super League.” As the league’s final event, we look forward to showcasing Moreton Bay’s stunning landscapes to a global audience and hosting a weekend of world-class racing, premium hospitality, and entertainment.

We're leading the world's first in-network trial of the new Fauna Escape Hatch, and it's already making a difference for our local wildlife! 🐨🌿 City of Moreton Bay has purchased and installed 16 new Fauna Escape Hatches throughout our Green Infrastructure network to help koalas exit the road corridor without being able to return. This is especially important right now during breeding season when koalas are on the move looking for a mate and are vulnerable to vehicles. We’ve already seen encouraging signs from koala cams, which have captured footage of a koala trying and failing to re-enter the road corridor. We hope this innovative new device can offer year-round protection for the wildlife that calls Moreton Bay home. We’re already planning to purchase more to provide greater protection for our furry friends! 🐾 A big thank you to the Endeavour Veterinary Ecology who designed the Fauna Escape Hatch at their Moreton Bay headquarters, and to Department of Transport and Main Roads for supporting the program. A great collaboration between two levels of government and an industry-leader in wildlife services.
