It widely varies from group to group, and most likely there will be some
members more interested in local provenance than others, but you won't know
unless you ask. My group (city-St George in Sydney) is pretty heavily into
local flora.

Hannah,

I am not sure what the Queensland branches of SGAP are like but from
experience a couple of the stalwarts of the Coffs Harbour branch are not
committed to local provenance plants.  I gave a talk to the branch on this
issue and it was received with varying degrees of acceptance.  Some members
were very positive about the issue but others were not interested as it
challenged their existing practices.

I still think that it is worth you contacting the local branch of SGAP but
be aware that they may not always promote local provenance plants.
