Big Changes Coming to Wellington Point?

Fiteni Homes has proposed a new urban village with a mix of apartments, townhouses, and detached dwellings. The proposal was discussed at the Redland City Council's general meeting on Wednesday, July 17th.

This could be a game-changer for the area, bringing new housing options and potentially boosting the local economy.

Capalaba Sports Club Expansion Proposal Up for Review!

The Capalaba Sports Club has submitted plans to expand the club and build a multi-storey carpark where the current uncovered bowling green sits. Since this is a major project, the public had a chance to weigh in and submit their comments to Redland City Council. The deadline for that has passed (Friday July 19th).

If you missed the opportunity to share your thoughts, you can stay updated on the project's progress through the Redland City Council's website or by contacting the club directly.
