"On behalf of the Board and Members of Royal Queensland Golf Club, I am pleased to express our strong support for the Healthy Moreton Bay initiative – a landmark 10-year program dedicated to restoring and protecting one of Australia’s most precious natural ecosystems.
As custodians of a unique stretch of the Brisbane River corridor, Royal Queensland is acutely aware of the interdependence between a healthy river system and the surrounding landscape. The river defines the character of our course, and we recognise our responsibility to manage our land in a way that actively contributes to the long-term health of Moreton Bay and its catchments.
We commend The University of Queensland and its partners for leading this important collaboration and for fostering community and institutional engagement around a shared environmental vision. Royal Queensland Golf Club stands ready to contribute to these efforts in any way that aligns with our stewardship responsibilities and sustainability goals."
