Significance of the Botanic Gardens
The Botanic Gardens are situated on 6000 year old foreshore dunes. The 26 hectare property was established to display plants of the Wide Bay and Great Sandy Regions.
The Hervey Bay Botanic Gardens are a unique icon of the region. With the World Heritage listed Fraser Island nearby, the Botanic Gardens are both regionally and internationally significant.
The Botanic Gardens continue to develop as an attractive and educational environment...one in which the science of botany can be interpreted for the benefit and enjoyment of the community.
