Environment centres
Brisbane has two environment centres at Boondall Wetlands and Downfall Creek.
Environment centres help Brisbane City Council achieve its 2026 vision of being a clean, green city by:
- being a facility of environmental communication and learning
- creating sustainable communities through environmental programs
- engaging communities in the sustainable use of Brisbane's natural areas with activities such as canoeing, bush walks, bird watching and wildlife rescue
