Green Living

Brisbane City Council encourages the residents of Brisbane to make changes to our everyday lives to help Brisbane achieve its goal of becoming Australia's most sustainable city. We want to preserve the lifestyle and environment that makes our city such a great place to live, work and play.

The Green Heart Fair is taking place on Sunday, 27 May 2012 at 7th Brigade Park. Come along for great free entertainment, kids' activities, free native plants and to learn about sustainability. Join in the Goldcross Cycles family fun ride for a great sustainable way to get to the fair.
