Moreton Bay Regional Council Awards $15M in Contracts to One Organisation
“Just north of Brisbane, taking in the islands and mudflats of Moreton Bay, the urban sprawl of new suburbs like North Lakes and the rapidly gentrifying precincts of the Redcliffe peninsula, the nation’s third largest council thinks it has an image problem. We are not a pit stop between Brisbane and the Sunshine,” reports Rory Callinan in ABC.
“A fired-up Mayor Peter Flannery told his Moreton Bay Regional Council earlier this month. He made the comments just before the councillors voted to replace the word regional in the authority’s title with city. We are a destination and I’m sick of being overlooked, he said. Changing the name is one of the cheaper steps the council has taken.”
