Redlands stormed past Valley by 41 runs to claim the 2025 title and cap off a massive night for the club.

Report It, Don’t Just Post It Redlands parks stay safe when locals speak up. If you see vandalism or antisocial behaviour, don’t just share it online—report it straight to police via 131 444 or lodge a report via the council website at redland.qld.gov.au. Every report helps stop damage, bring faster repairs, and keep our parks family-friendly. Quick action means real results for everyone.

Track and Protect Our Local Koalas Redlands Coast now has an interactive Koala Watch dashboard that lets you spot, report, and follow local koalas in real time. It’s simple to use, helps track their health and movements, and every report counts. Click here to jump on, log your sightings, and play a part in protecting our koalas.

Brisbane Festival Is Here Brisbane Festival is lighting up the city with art, music, and plenty of surprises. Walk This Way is just one of the must-see highlights, but there’s so much more waiting. Grab your friends, explore the streets, and soak in the colour and creativity all around.
