Mayor Flannery is ambitiously delivering a city of tomorrow ensuring residents can live, work and play in City of Moreton Bay.

As a long-serving Councillor and former Australian Army soldier, City of Moreton Bay Mayor, Peter Flannery, has devoted his career to serving his community and country. Peter is known for his collaborative leadership style and is committed to being a progressive leader. 

Peter nurtures a city that thrives on ambition and innovation and as the city grows to a population of 1 million people around the year 2050, Peter is focused on laying sustainable foundations with strong advocacy for crucial connectivity networks and infrastructure, for greater investment, liveability and prosperity. City of Moreton Bay is Southeast Queensland’s engine room and Peter’s decisions ensure local businesses thrive and increase our economic outputs.

Peter’s philosophy is to ensure the valuable lifestyle and environmental assets in Moreton Bay are protected in the face of population growth. Council has committed to ‘going green as we grow’ and preserving 75% of land mass as green space.

Under Peter’s leadership the City:

• introduced the Garden Organics initiative
• committed to net zero emissions for Council operations by 2039
• progressed the establishment of the Moreton Bay Wildlife Hospital, providing a $3 million parcel of land in Dakabin.

Throughout Peter’s career in one of Australia’s fastest growing Councils, he has seen the delivery of significant projects like the Peninsula Railway Line, The Mill PDA, UniSC Moreton Bay, Women’s Football Centre of Excellence and the first sod turn for Waraba — expected to house 70,000 residents.

Additionally, he’s eager to see the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games transform the city. Major infrastructure works will precede the Games, with the Moreton Bay Indoor Sports Centre secured in Petrie. 

A proud family man, he has lived in Moreton Bay since 1994 and currently lives in Morayfield.
