Whites Hill-Pine Mountain Community Group Inc. is a non-profit and non-political community organisation. They are the local community assisting the Brisbane City Council in developing a long-term management plan for the Whites Hill area and the surrounding linkages to Bulimba Creek.
The group is dedicated to looking after the natural environment, especially the Whites Hill, Pine Mountain, and Sankeys Mountain areas in the southern suburbs of Brisbane City. They have a close working relationship with us (B4C) and with Norman Creek Catchment Coordinating Committee, as we all have a common cause, that is to care for the environment.
Mission Statement and Objectives:
- The object of the group is to represent residents and other interested groups of the local area in the future planning for conservation and management of the Whites Hill-Pine Mountain reserves (between Boundary Road and Pine Mountain Road) and adjacent areas, for sport, recreation, flora, fauna and other associated projects.
- To submit advice to Brisbane City Council for proposed use and management planning.
- To publish, print and circulate leaflets and papers that may be conductive of the aims and objects of the group.
- To seek partnerships and sponsors to resource our projects.
