Peter Kluver & Maree RauPrint Page

The seat commemorates Peter Kluver and Maree Rau for their service to the Glasshouse Mountains Advancement Network. 

Peter Kluver and Maree Rau were staunch advocates of the Glasshouse Mountains and surrounding area, promoting and nurturing native plant life and wildlife habitat.  Serving on Glasshouse Mountains Advancement Network (GMAN)  Management Committee, they were instrumental in securing grants and co-ordinating projects to preserve and protect the ecology and cultural heritage of this region.

Peter Kluver, quiet but practical, was involved in all GMAN projects including the establishment of koala food tree plantations and their subsequent maintenance.  He served for many years on the Management Committee and held the position of Vice President at the time of his death.  Peter actively volunteered in other local groups including the Glasshouse Mountains Men’s Shed, which he was instrumental in creating; the RSL; Coochin Creek Bushland Group and the Glasshouse Mountains Visitor Centre.  Peter was granted Life Membership for both the Men’s Shed and the RSL, and in 2015 was honoured with a Volunteer Award by MP Andrew Powell, demonstrating the high regard in which he was held by friends, colleagues and associates.

Maree Rau was a networker who enjoyed making connections between people from different groups.  As well as being an active member of GMAN, she was also involved with the local VIEW club.  Maree helped organise and participated in many GMAN projects including the native plant propagation nursery, the koala food tree plantations and all fundraisers.  Maree served as secretary for both GMAN and the VIEW club for several years before her illness forced her to resign this position.
