Logan City Council will play a more active role in the Flinders-Greenbank/Karawatha Conservation Partnership when it signs a Memorandum of Understanding with other partners soon.
Environment and Sustainability Committee Chairperson, Councillor Aidan McLindon, said Logan had held "observer" status prior to the local government reform process, but now a large part of the bushland corridor was within Logan City's boundaries.
"Because of this, it's important that we have a more active role and help shape strategic planning and management actions," Cr McLindon said.
The Partnership was established in February 2004 to jointly manage conservation, recreation, cultural heritage and social values for the corridor, which stretches from Flinders Peak, south of Ipswich, to Karawatha Forest. The area incorporates the Greenbank military area, various state and local government-owned lands and potentially privately-owned land that will complement the corridor.
"The Flinders-Greenbank/Karawatha corridor is one of South East Queensland's most valuable assets and it's vital we, as a Council, do all that we can to preserve it for future generations."
