Mt Coot-tha is home to the magnificent Brisbane Botanic Gardens a "Museum for Plants and fauna refuge" and a large environmentally sensitive animal and plant reserve.

Brisbane City Council are master planning to develop areas of Mount Coot-tha including within the Botanic Gardens and throughout the protected animal and plant reserve.

Master Plan 

The Master Plan will explore :

• A 170-kilometre Brisbane Wilderness Trail connecting Mt Coot-tha to Mt Archer, with bush huts, glamping, composting toilets, and wayfinding.
• A night-time light show in the Brisbane Botanic Gardens.
• A revitalised Tropical Dome and reimagined Sir Thomas Brisbane Planetarium.
• A tree-top walk at The Summit, designed for accessibility and immersive nature experiences.
• Eco-tourism glamping and sustainable nature retreats.
• A one-way loop road on Sir Samuel Griffith Drive with a dedicated cycling lane.
• A long-term vision to transform the Mt Coot-tha Quarry into a must-visit destination once operations cease.

The aim of my Mount Coot-tha project is to offer my unique perspective on this place and communicate the existing beauty of Mount Coot-tha's animals and plants. Our goal is to increase public awareness and appreciation and in our way contribute to its long term success as a place valued and celebrated, primarily, as a Flora and Fauna Reserve.
