The bold plan for Moreton Bay to ‘stamp’ its position on the map
Australia’s third-largest council plans to shrug its ‘regional’ title and rename itself Moreton Bay City.
Mayor Peter Flannery yesterday moved a motion at a council meeting for the renaming, which was unanimously voted in.
Mr Flannery told Spencer Howson Moreton Bay needs to be “more than just a regional area of south-east Queensland”.
“We’re a lot of metropolis cities together,” he said.
“We’re looking at changing it in time for the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics.
“It’s about stamping our position, I suppose, in south-east Queensland.”
