The Maroochy arts and ecology centre is located at the Maroochy regional bushland botanic garden. It is a specialised arts and ecology interpretative centre. The building design gives strong consideration to its setting in the gardens, and utilises ecological principles within its design and operation.
The arts and ecology centre is a hub for a variety of activities such as exhibitions, artist in residencies, educational events and informative displays that connect directly with nature to enable a better understanding of the environment and the importance of biodiversity.
