Councillor Wendy Boglary

"I am an advocate for the sustainable future of Moreton Bay and therefore delighted to support the Healthy Moreton Bay Initiative.

UQ and The Goodman Foundation are leading this 10- year plan to preserve and restore Moreton Bay’s ecosystem and biodiversity though science, advocacy, community engagement and policy development. To deliver a sustainable South-East Queensland and build a resilient coastal environment by the 2032 Olympics is a surmountable goal.

It is imperative we prioritise the health of Moreton Bay, South-East Queensland’s backyard, as this will lead to Queensland’s prosperity showcasing Australia’s global conservation leadership and cutting-edge science.

Having a resilient Moreton Bay is vital for the health of South-East Queensland, as the Bay is used for recreational activities, commercial industries and economic growth while importantly being home to thousands of species of marine life.

Achieving this outcome will take concerted collaborative efforts by all levels of government, private enterprise and individuals.

The goal is to reach a $30m endowment for lasting impact and $5m for a Chair and programs. A lasting legacy for generations to come. With the initial Goodman Foundation’s $1m pledge, I encourage further support through donating, advocacy or sharing expertise to reach $4m by March 2026."
