New look, new logo for Moreton Bay Regional Council
Moreton Bay Regional
Council has started the
new year by adopting its
new permanent logo.
The logo - designed to
reect the key characteristics
of our Moreton Bay region -
was developed over several
months, taking into
account valuable input from
residents and community
members, students, artists
and council staff.
The new logo will be rolled
out over the coming months
and will be featured on
council vehicles, facilities,
signs, stationery and
buildings.
The logo is a graphical
depiction of our dynamic and
diverse region:
The wave of blue
represents the bay and our
waterways
The orange sweep and
dots represent all the
communities, as well
as the individuals and
families, who call our
growing region home
The roll of green
represents our much-
valued environmental
areas and spectacular
mountain ranges
Each of the three main
colours grow bolder as theymove from left to right, to
reect the strength of our
Moreton Bay region as we
move forward and embrace
the future, its opportunities
and challenges.
Importantly, the logo is
much more than just a
visual identity. It also
conrms Moreton Bay
Regional Councils status
as a maturing, united local
government - with a sharp
community focus and strong
commitment to meet the
expectations of residents.

Over the next three years,
council and Queensland
Health will deliver a free
immunisation program to
high school students in theMoreton Bay region.
This is the rst time a free
council-run immunisation
program has been available
to students attending
schools in the Redcliffe and
Caboolture districts.
The move will help boost
the health of young people
and provide an effective
means of reducing the
spread of common diseases
such as hooping cough and
chickenpox.
As part of the program,
students in years eight and
ten will also be vaccinated
for Hepatitis B, Cervical
Cancer, Diphtheria and
Moreton Bay Regional
Council and the RSPCA
are promoting responsible
animal ownership by
encouraging residents
to de-sex and micro-chip
their pets.
From 1 February, council
will offer a $10 micro-
chipping program for
pets while from March,
residents can take
advantage of discounted
de-sexing for cats.
Its all part of a larger
State Government funded
study aimed at nding
ways to reduce the
number of euthanased
animals in South-East
Queensland.
Micro-chipping can
dramatically increase
the odds of an animal
being reunited with its
owners, because once a
pet is micro-chipped, it is
identiable for life.
Under councils local
laws, cats and dogs in the
Moreton Bay region
must be kept on their
own properties and
prevented from
wandering or escaping.
