Mossman Botanic Garden

WHY A New Botanic Garden?

Mossman Botanic Garden (MBG) is a 21st century botanic garden focused on nature-positive, tropical rainforest conservation. Located in Mossman, Far North Queensland, the gardens' location is encircled by ancient rainforest and adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef.

Based in the Wet Tropics World Heritage listed area, one of the most biodiverse hotspots on Earth, MBG will contribute towards critical wet tropics plant conservation and actively work towards delivering biodiversity security in the region.

MBG will stimulate the local and regional green economy through a variety of new and interesting jobs and training opportunities. As a botanic hub, the gardens will truly represent Northern Australia as one of the tropical rainforest conservation champions, whilst highlighting other world-class projects underway within the region.

THE MBG PLAN

Recognising that the gardens will be established on the Traditional Lands of the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people, our plan for the Mossman Botanic Garden is to:

Establish and maintain a community owned world-class botanical institution and horticultural collection, which will provide new jobs and skill sets for the region
Create a Gateway precinct experience designed to educate and inspire all visitors and the community to support and care for the worlds oldest rainforest.
Provide an ex-situ plant bank to ensure the survival of critically endangered plants only found in the Wet Tropics
Provide a facility to host a range of festivals, conferences, concerts and community events in the Douglas Shire
Increase the variety of destination touring experiences in Far North Queensland, stimulating domestic and international visitor numbers in the region
Build an attraction of international calibre contributing to the economic growth and development of the Far North Queensland tourism industry.
