20 years of Bushland Acquisitions

On 12 September 2010, Lord Mayor Campbell Newman led the Brisbane community on celebrating the 20th anniversary of Brisbane City Council's Bushland Acquisition program.

This site, now part of Mt Coot-tha Forest, was the first property purchased through the program, initiated by former Lord Mayor, Sallyanne Atkinson,

In 20 years, the Bushland Preservation Levy has protected more than 2750ha of Brisbane's most significant bushland for the benefite of our faune and flore, and future generations.
