Expected boost to Moreton Bay drive market

Mayor Peter Flannery said the Moreton Bay, Minutes Away campaign would encourage every South East Queenslander jumping in their car to point the steering wheel towards Moreton Bay Region.

“Drive tourism has always been our region’s strength and we saw an influx of visitors to the region when the 50km radius restriction came into play back in April,” Mayor Flannery said



“We know our regulars will be keen to return these school holidays, so this campaign will showcase our diversity of attractions to entice new tourists to discover the hidden gems around Moreton Bay Region - like our pristine beaches and stunning national parks, an abundance of fresh local produce from the bay to the farms, and a range of incredible tours and experiences to suit every traveller.



“With the news of restrictions easing and borders reopening, now is the time to remind our drive market that their next long-weekend or quick getaway is only minutes away from their front door.



“Getting tourism back on track is one of the best ways to get our economy back on track, so Council has enthusiastically partnered with MBRIT on this campaign.”
