Council adopts Master Plan
The adopted plan incorporates community feedback. The draft plan was open for public comment from 25 October to 5 December 2008. Council then reviewed community feedback outlined within the submission review report and conducted further background research to inform amendments to the original plan, included in the supporting material document.
The master plan will be used to:
- strengthen the role and identity in the Redland Bay centre and its relationship to Moreton Bay, including its function as a destination for waterfront and marine-based recreational activities and its key role as the principal gateway to the SMBI
- rationalise the pattern of land use to achieve efficient, integrated and improved urban design and open space outcomes that will enhance the character and amenity of the Redland Bay centre and its foreshore
- identify sustainable development opportunities and protect environmental values
- identify sustainable transport solutions to the Southern Moreton Bay Islands and establish a pedestrian, cycling and public transport friendly environment in the centre and its foreshore
- identify and address the impacts of the proposed strategy outcomes on local transport infrastructure
- create, reinforce and enhance pedestrian, bicycle, recreation and environmental links within the Redland Bay centre and neighbouring areas.
The revised master plan, the Submission Review Report, supporting information and communications plan was considered by Council at the Planning and Policy Committee Meeting on 19 August 2009, before being adopted at the General Meeting of 26 August.
