Moreton Island Protection Committee

What is MIPC?

Moreton Island Protection Committee (MIPC) is an incorporated association established in 1978 with the aim of preserving the vegetation, fauna and natural features of Moreton Island which lies approximately 40 kilometres off the coast of Queensland from Brisbane. Like Stradbroke and Fraser it is a sand island composed of a mass of sand caught on and built up behind a rock outcrop (Cape Moreton) and is 34 kms long and 10 kms at its widest point. In the mid-1990s the island was declared a national park finally revoking sand-mining leases which had existed since 1975.
