Where is the Brisbane Urban Environmental Education Centre (BUEEC)?
The BUEEC is located within the Newmarket State School, corner of Bank Street and Enoggera Roads, Newmarket.
The centre is approximately 5 km from the Central Brisbane City Area and within the inner Northern Suburbs — areas undergoing urban renewal and redevelopment.
What does the Brisbane Urban Environmental Education Centre provide?
The BUEEC provides curriculum support for schools and unique learning experiences for students.
Curriculum offerings generally fall into four main themes:
- The social and built environment,
- Individuals and social groups,
- Natural systems and resources, and
- Sustainable urban living.
Programs are primarily developed to support schools covering all schooling years from early childhood to upper secondary and tertiary.
Support includes:
- assistance with curriculum development;
- resources - print or electronic,
- equipment for use in field investigations,
- field experiences within the city and inner suburbs — a major part of the program.
A visitor centre and 'model ' urban living projects are being developed at the Newmarket location.
The centre can also provide limited residential accommodation for groups wanting extended visits to Brisbane.
