Sustainable Moreton Bay (QLD)

Jurisdiction: Queensland


How can we create a diverse and flourishing planet for generations to come?

Using Open Data from a variety of sources, help us create a sustainable future and protect our local flora and fauna. Ideas and examples could include tracking and monitoring the health of our local Koalas (some great data on this topic!), circular economy solutions, urban heat island effect, through to climate change mitigation strategies. All ideas welcome, and remember to focus on our region!

This is one of three Moreton Bay specific challenges put together by a consortium of business, education and government organisations, all passionate about our local region. We will have a group of USC Moreton Bay students participating on campus at Petrie Mill alongside local innovators, and we encourage you to join with them in putting a spotlight on our region.
