STATEMENT OF VALUE
The climate is considered to be subtropical and consistent with the climatic characteristics of the southeast Queensland bio-region. Along the seaward edge of the Bribie Passage, extensive mangroves are found, particularly associated with the mouths of permanent streams. The dominant cultural aspects of Queensland society demonstrated by the cultural landscape of the Glasshouse Mountains are those of Enterprise and Communication.
All traverse the landscape in a north south axis with each traverse moving a little east of the previous route. A number of their distinctive shapes unmistakably identify the individual peaks as "one of the Glasshouse Mountains". For many years, one of the iconic postcard views of this region was Mt.
The cultural landscape of the Glasshouse Mountains forms the headwaters of the northern waters of Moreton Bay, specifically the Pumicestone Passage. Land use activities on the coastal plain have and will continue to affect the maintenance of the health of this important wetland. The urban case study area occupies a 'peninsula' bounded by the Brisbane River immediately south of Brisbane city centre.

Request that EPA Cultural Heritage Branch undertake a cultural landscape study - with the participation of the communities concerned - of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal cultural. Woolloongabba LAP to ensure they effectively address the multiple values of the South Brisbane Peninsula as a cultural landscape. The distinctiveness of the cultural landscape stems from the area's changing economic fate and image over more than 170 years of development and redevelopment, during which the area has been a mix of uses, built form, economic values and access to a variety of socio-economic groups kept
For Aboriginal people, the peninsula was one of Queensland's earliest sites of intensive interaction with and resistance to European settlers in the nineteenth century. The physical diversity of the built form and land use of the South Brisbane Peninsula has historically been matched by greater social diversity than has been common in most urban areas of Brisbane or Queensland. The broad and multidimensional characteristics of the South Brisbane Peninsula are beyond the reach of existing heritage conservation mechanisms.
