The Network is there for:

Each member organisation of BSHN has representation on the Governance Board which would own all network and business interests.
*The area of the BHSN would be defined as all the area from the south bank of the Brisbane River BETWEEN eastern bank of the Oxley Creek and the western bank of the Bulimba Creek, and as far south as the current Brisbane city boundary.
