The Moreton Bay Region is governed by the Moreton Bay Regional Council (which in 2008 amalgamated the previous councils of Caboolture, Pine Rivers and Redcliffe).

This region provides great events and entertainment all year round in a variety of environments, from beach towns to picturesque country locations. Major events in the region include the Urban Country Music Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, Redcliffe Festival of Sails, Abbey Medieval Festival, Redcliffe Kitefest, Caboolture Farm Fantastic, Redcliffe First Settlement Festival & Powerboat Grand Prix and many more . . . there's something on everyday!

Bribie Island is linked to the mainland by a bridge making the visit to the scenic island a breeze. Bribie has always captured the imagination of tourists due to the spectacular beaches, fishing and relaxed lifestyle. The island has the calm waters of the Pumicestone Passage on one side (most populated side) and the open ocean on the other at Woorim. Woorim has a patrolled swimming beach year round with great picnic facilities and cafes. The ocean side also allows four wheel drive vehicles (permit required) to drive north along the deserted beach to camping facilities and historical WW2 bunkers.

The main tourist strip on Bribie Island is along Welsby Parade on the Pumicestone Passage towards the pier at Bongaree. Many tourists enjoy the beauty of Woorim with the lure of the ocean beach and the sound of crashing waves. Both sides have hotels & motels with nearby services that cater well for tourists.

Caboolture is the heart of the Moreton Bay Region and is located beside the beautiful Caboolture river. The Centenary Lakes Parkland is a great place to explore the river. It features lovely pathways that meander along the river bank and leads to a pedestrian suspension bridge for a spectacular view of the river. Located within the park is a free velodrome, BMX track and a variety of meandering pathways around the lakes.

Morayfield is nearby and features a great selection of shopping centres and major stores all in close proximity to each other along Morayfield Road. Caboolture has an airfield that services small aircraft and gliders. The airfield has hangers along the runway that house museums of vintage aircraft and famous 'war birds'. Joy Flights are available, from scenic gliding tours of the Glasshouse mountains & bay to adrenalin pumping warplane flights.

Redcliffe was named after the reddish colour in the cliffs that jut out into the ocean. Renovations to the foreshore areas have created beautiful beachside parks from Scarborough, Woody Point and to Clontarf. Redcliffe features two impressive Jetties; the Redcliffe Jetty and Woody Point Jetty. Both are well worth
the stroll and are quite different in character. Moreton Bay Cruises (whale watching fastcat June-October) leave from Redcliffe Jetty for those who want to experience the bay. The Margate foreshore boardwalk is a great walk and allows you to access areas that emphasise Redcliffe's natural beauty. Redcliffe boasts its own Southbank style lagoon, called Settlement Cove Lagoon. The lagoon is free to swim in and has lifeguards on duty. It's a great place to cool down, enjoy a BBQ and relax whilst enjoying the views and seabreeze. A favourite place for ocean swimming is at the patrolled beach called Suttons Beach. For the adventurous you can go skydiving and land right on the beach at Redcliffe.

The Coastal Towns are quite popular as they still retain their original charm and relaxed lifestyle. Deception Bay has an excellent esplanade walk (Cottonwood Walk) with viewing platforms that look out across Deception Bay towards Beachmere, Sand
stone Point and Bribie Island. Beachmere is beside the mouth of the Caboolture River. It's one of the nearest beaches for Caboolture residents and boasts some great new facilities and park areas near the beach. Toorbul and Donnybrook were originally fishing villages located on the Pumicestone Passage. Boat ramps allow access for the many fisherman that try their luck in the quiet waterways beside Bribie Island.

The Hinterland follows the D'Aguilar Range via the D'Aguilar Highway. It travels from Samford in the south, past Lake Samsonvale, through Dayboro and Mt Mee and up to Woodford. The ranges, especially at Mt Mee Lookout, offer views out across the region and out to Moreton Island. Woodford is a quaint one street town that comes alive during the Woodford Folk Festival. The town has an original steam train that operates a short return trip on a section of track that follows the original track through the bush.
