The Governor of Queensland visited the Redlands IndigiScapes Centre recently to learn about the ongoing evolution of the centre to provide high standard environmental education and tourism experiences.
Her Excellency the Honourable Dr Jeannette Young AC PSM met with Redland City Mayor Jos Mitchell, Council’s Chief Executive Officer Louise Rusan and Council officers at the Redland City Council eco-centre at Capalaba, before touring the site and sampling some of the local produce.
The Mayor said the Governor was shown the location of the proposed RSPCA Wildlife Hospital and how it sat within the proposed Redlands Coast Eco Precinct.
