Reverend Peter Sweetman

"As a lifelong Brisbane resident, a grandfather and a Christian minister, I offer my wholehearted support for the Healthy Moreton Bay Initiative. Having grown up enjoying the waters of Moreton Bay – and now sharing those experiences with my grandchildren – I am delighted by this carefully considered plan to ensure the Bay remains a source of life, wonder and nourishment for generations to come.

This restorative vision, led by The University of Queensland and supported by the Goodman Foundation, deeply resonates with the Creator’s call for humanity to care for the world entrusted to us (Genesis 2:15).

I am profoundly grateful for everyone involved in this initiative – from the traditional custodians of these waters and our skilled scientific community to government and industry leaders, philanthropic partners, and all who cherish the beauty and significance of Moreton Bay.

It is the collaborative spirit of this initiative that inspires confidence in its success. I believe it is a wise and worthy investment in the health and flourishing of such a remarkable part of God’s creation."
