Moreton Bay goes global
Moreton Bay Council has pitched its investment potential to business leaders, government bodies, and universities in Japan, Singapore, and New Zealand, showcasing a diverse portfolio of opportunities aimed at bolstering economic growth.
Mayor Peter Flannery highlighted Moreton Bay’s commitment to progress, presenting a pipeline of nine priority projects valued at around $1 billion.
Key investment areas include food and agribusiness, tourism, and sports sectors, which are all part of the city’s broader economic development strategy.
Deputy Mayor Jodie Shipway promoted Moreton Bay as a hotel investment hub at New Zealand’s largest hotel investment conference, underscoring the city’s readiness to support new accommodations ahead of the 2032 Olympics.
Strong international interest also stems from Council’s longstanding ties with Japan, celebrated during Mayor Flannery’s recent visit to Sanyo-Onoda.
Council hopes to grow a $40 billion economy and create 100,000 new jobs by
