Brisbane City Council is proud to present Greenfest 2009.

Brisbane is the most biologically diverse capital in Australia, supporting thousands of plant and animal species. Brisbane City Council is dedicated to protecting our natural environment and conserving it for the future.

Our Shared Vision document was developed with the residents of Brisbane and tells of the City we want for the future.

 

 

At this year's Greenfest, Brisbane City Council's 'Green Heart Zone' will showcase how Council is achieving these targets and arm residents with everything they need to contribute.

 

To celebrate, Brisbane City Council and Tangalooma Island Resort are giving you the chance to WIN a 5-night family escape package.
