Biodiversity

Council recognises that Scenic Rim boasts a unique natural environment and is committed to proactively working to preserve and enhance it in partnership with the community.

Biodiversity is crucial to the region as it contributes to the ecological balance that our important agricultural and tourism industries require to operate. In addition to being an important food bowl for the nation, the Scenic Rim’s native bushland, national parks and waterways represent the vital organs of the wider region. Council acknowledges the role of landholders, particularly primary producers, and the community as stewards of the local environment.
