New Budget, Big Plans

Redland City Council’s new $503 million Budget is all about essentials—upgraded roads, better water services, and keeping things running smoothly without blowing out your rates. From footpaths to park upgrades and digital improvements, it’s a practical plan for now and the future. Check it out here.

Redlands Is Getting a Major Upgrade

Redland City Council just locked in a $151.68 million capital works budget for 2025–26, with big plans to improve roads, water, and waste services across the city. Nearly a third of that is going into water and wastewater alone to help the region grow without skipping a beat.

Part of Judy Holt Park Footpath Closed

If you walk through Judy Holt Park, take note — part of the footpath has been closed since Monday 23 June may not be open until late 2026. It’s all part of an environmental rehab project, and there’ll be trucks around. Stay safe and check the detour signs while work’s underway.
