We invite you and your community to a gathering and free BBQ in Eight Mile Plains, at Bolton Street Park.

Connect with neighbours, share your stories, tell us what matters to you.

There will be a Community Open Mic where anybody can share what's on their mind - whether it's speaking about a local or community issue, sharing poetry or a song - we want this to be a space for expression.

There will be halal, vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options available, and a playground nearby for the young ones.

So, take a break from cooking, bring a picnic blanket, and come meet your neighbours over a meal!

This is also an opportunity to meet your Greens Federal Candidate for Moreton, Remah Naji, who is excited to meet and hear from you.

We acknowledge the Yuggera and Turrbal peoples as the traditional custodians and rightful owners of the lands on which we gather. Sovereignty over this place has never been ceded, and restitution for historical and ongoing colonial occupation has yet to be realised. Wherever we are on this continent, it always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
