Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd (PBPL) has announced its support for the Quandamooka Festival 2025 as the first recipient of its newly-established Here for the Future Fund.
The Quandamooka Festival celebrates the culture and arts of the Quandamooka People on Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island), with Port of Brisbane partnering with event organisers, Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation (QYAC), to support performing artists.
Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd CEO, Neil Stephens, said the Port plays a central role in the economic and social fabric of Queensland, and the Here for the Future Fund is part of the Port’s commitment to fostering deep connections with local communities.
“Our Here for the Future Fund allows us to engage and invest in initiatives like the Quandamooka Festival, that strengthen community and support prosperity,” Mr Stephens said.
“Cultural inclusivity and collaboration are important parts of our Vision 2060 – an ambitious roadmap to strengthen Queensland’s economic position, future proof trade and support the transition to a more sustainable and efficient port – as we design for, and with, future generations.
“We have a long-standing relationship working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and we are pleased to support QYAC’s multi-artform festival, as a great opportunity to experience the culture of the Quandamooka People.”
The event is free, open to the public and will run from 13-14 September 2025.
