Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House to the proposed name change of the Moreton Bay Regional Council to Moreton Bay City Council. The Council’s proposed name change recommendation to the Local Government Change Commission via the Minister for Local Government has had limited input from residents and is not indicative of the wishes of the residents of the Moreton Bay region.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to request the Change Commission include a formal informative community consultation process and a plebiscite of the Moreton Bay Regional Council area in conjunction with the next Local Government election (March 2024) before changing the Council’s name to Moreton Bay City.
