What do you want Redland to look like in five years? Redland City Council wants to hear from you as it gets started on its next big plan for the city’s future.
Community Voice at the Centre
The Council is launching a public consultation to help shape its Corporate Plan for the next five years. Residents are invited to share their ideas and priorities for infrastructure, services, and spending.
The Council is running an online survey and in-person sessions to hear from locals, including Capalaba residents. Feedback is open until 22 June via the Your Say Redlands Coast website.
How the Plan Will Work
The Corporate Plan is a legal requirement under Queensland’s local government laws and serves as the city’s roadmap for services, planning and growth. The new plan, once finalised, will replace the current 2021–2026 version and cover a range of priorities based on feedback from the community.
In mid-2025, Council officers will review all the community input and prepare a draft document. This will be made available to the public later in the year for further feedback, before being considered for adoption at the Council’s general meeting in December.
Opportunities to Participate
Locals can drop by pop-ups at events like Redlands Touch Football on 30 May and John Frederick Park on 7 June. They’re also invited to join focus groups covering sport, the arts and young people’s needs.
For those who prefer paper forms, survey postcards are available at Redland City Libraries and Council Service Centres across the region, including in Capalaba.
Focus on Local Priorities
The Council is keen to hear from all corners of the city, not just on big-picture plans but on everyday neighbourhood needs. In Capalaba, that might mean easing traffic near the shops, improving sports grounds or boosting youth programs.
In previous community consultations, thousands of people provided input on the city’s future direction. The Council says similar feedback this time will help ensure the next Corporate Plan reflects the values and daily needs of local residents.
