Focus of Activities
QCC's focus is on climate, water and biodiversity.
The Council provides information about public concerns regarding recreational fishing and tourism raised by the establishment of the Coral Sea Heritage Park. '
QCC helped in the long fight against sand mining on Moreton Bay and Stradbroke Islands, and lobbied for the establishment of an Environmental Protection Agency in Queensland. During the past decade QCC has opposed fish farms in Moreton Bay and helped to phase out broad scale land clearing.
Another ongoing venture is the Rivers Project which provides representation on consultation panels and submissions on issues of state water reform. QCC also raises public awareness of water management issues and publishes a quarterly newsletter, Rivers Alive.
Current campaigns are focussed on improving the declining health of Moreton Bay.

“Carlyle is not a seer, but a brave looker-on and reviewer; not the most free and catholic observer of men and events, for they are likely to find him preoccupied, but unexpectedly free and catholic when they fall within the focus of his lens.”

“If your child is going to develop a healthy personality with the capacity to remain intact and grow, she must learn how to test reality, regulate her impulses, stabilize her moods, integrate her feelings and actions, focus her concentration and plan.”
—Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
