Thank you to our members

The Board and Executive team of Mossman Botanic Garden (MBG) would like to acknowledge the ongoing support and passion for the project that the members of the MBG continue to contribute in spades. You are the heartbeat of the future garden.

As many of you will have seen there is a preliminary garden being developed on site that will be ready for a turning of the sod ceremony in December. It is thanks to a generous private donor that we are able to create this very special culturally inspired garden and at the 2021 AGM meeting we will be able to advise members of the ongoing status of the MBG.

Every membership counts as we work towards securing the next round of funding for the garden and ensure that this game-changing project for region is built as soon as possible.

The garden is vital to the region's economic and social growth and identity.

the need for the Mossman Botanic Garden

As the world is waking up to the increasing challenge that climate change is going to impose globally, a 21st century botanic garden championing tropical rainforest conservation both in Australia and internationally, is being developed in the regional Far North QLD town of Mossman, which is encircled by the world’s oldest living rainforest and is adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef.

The Mossman Botanic Garden (MBG) can bring not only social and economic benefits to the region through tourism, but also through jobs and training opportunities. As the only botanic garden focused on publicly showcasing unique plants from Australia’s Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, this platform will share stories and communicate around conservation, regeneration, traditional knowledge and how historically, indigenous peoples have managed their land and food resources.

It will provide a variety of new and interesting jobs and will be a botanic garden that truly represents Northern Australia as one of the tropical rainforest conservation champions.

OUR 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
Provide a facility to host a range of festivals, conferences, concerts and community events in the Douglas Shire
Increase the whole of destination touring experience in Far North Queensland to increase domestic and ultimately international visitor numbers to the region
Build an attraction of international standard which would indirectly contribute to the economic growth and development of the Far North Queensland tourism industry.

BENEFITS OF BUILDING THE MBG

Multi Million $ Investment

The MBG has requested that both the Commonwealth and Queensland Government’s provide funding of $10 million to kick start the building of the gardens.

Regional Development

It is expected that once the MBG is fully operational, over the next 10 years it will attract millions of dollars of additional investment into the local community, and provide new business opportunities in the Douglas Shire and the Cairns region.

New Jobs & Opportunities

New Jobs & Opportunities
