• This is more essential than ever to juggle population growth as people flock to our beautiful, biodiverse region and the extremes that we will be increasingly be faced with as a result of climate change.
• Our extensive knowledge, science & evidence gives us an enviable great roadmap for investment and action into the right places - and guiding where to channel more resources and investment to achieve the best bang for buck for our region.

How do we make sure beautiful and biodiverse South East Queensland is 'green' olympics ready?

How do we channel investment into the right places to ensure we bolster our environs and liveability and have a real legacy after the games have been held? 

• Using the community of SEQ's environment plan (which goes up to 2031, just before the games start) is a great way to guide region-wide action. 
• The plan includes targets to accelerate real progress towards our environment and liveability aspirations for our region. We are measuring our progress towards those targets to see where more action, and investment, is needed.
• We believe that if we work together with a good plan and funding, by 2032 we will be able to showcase SEQ as world leader in resilient, sustainable, liveable region-making
• When the eyes of the world are upon south east Queensland, there will be a unique opportunity to showcase how sustainability and resilience to disasters and climate change can be the centrepieces of making a region a great place to live, work, visit and play.
