Here’s what you told us is important to you
Over the past 8 months, we’ve been asking what you want the Redlands to be like by 2030. The outcome areas and vision statements listed below have been identified by the Redland community as important. There are goals, indicators and breakthrough actions attached to each of these areas. More detail is available in the Redlands 2030 Consultation draft now available for comment.
Embracing the Bay
The unique ecosystems, visual beauty, spiritual nourishment and coastal lifestyle provided by the islands, beaches, foreshores and water catchments of Moreton Bay is celebrated, valued and protected.
Wise planning and design
Sustainable use of the land will reflect careful management of population pressures so that the distinctive character, heritage and atmosphere of local communities is displayed, and a wellplanned
network of green spaces, productive red soil farms, effective infrastructure and efficient transport systems supports active and healthy community life and Redlands environmental values
Green living
Our quality of life and our children’s lives will depend on our green living choices, efficient use of resources, energy efficient transport and infrastructure, and our thoughtful response to climate change
Inclusive and ethical governance
Deep engagement, quality leadership at all levels, transparent and accountable democratic processes and a spirit of partnership between the community and Council will enrich residents’ participation in local decision-making to achieve the community’s Redland 2030 vision and goals.
A supportive and vibrant economy
Businesses will thrive and jobs will grow from opportunities generated by low impact industries,
cultural and outdoor lifestyle activities, ecotourism, quality educational experiences and productive red soil.
Strong and connected communities
Our health and wellbeing and strong community spirit will be supported by housing, transport, community services, programs and facilities, and our values of caring and respect will extend to
people of all ages, cultures, abilities and needs.
Healthy natural environment
A diverse and healthy natural environment with an abundance of native flora and fauna and rich ecosystems will be sustained through our heightened awareness and commitment to caring for the environment.
Quandamooka Country
Aboriginal custodianship by Traditional Owners of the land and waters of the Redlands and Quandamooka (Moreton Bay) will be respected by residents and visitors and the significance of the living culture of the Indigenous people will be widely known and celebrated throughout the Redlands community.
