Moreton Bay Region residents are urged to have their say on Council’s push to secure City status.
Mayor Peter Flannery announced the proposal in December, saying it would remove the connotation of remoteness associated with the word ‘region’.

After the announcement, Council started exploring the possible social and economic benefits a change in classification might bring to the region.
