Our vision, mission and values

Our vision

‘Naturally wonderful lifestyle. Connected communities. Embracing opportunities.’

The Redland Coast is known for its relaxed coastal lifestyle, strong community values and outstanding cultural and natural attractions. Our corporate plan Our Future Redlands - A Corporate Plan to 2026 and Beyond(PDF, 6MB) describes the following seven goals for 2041 that are supported by catalyst projects:

• City leadership
• Strong communities
• Quandamooka Country
• Natural environment
• Liveable neighbourhoods
• Thriving economy
• Efficient and effective organisation.

We are actively working towards our city vision through the implementation of our new corporate plan and key strategies for the city.

Our mission

‘Make a Difference. Make it Count.’

Our mission is to make a difference every day through the work that we do. We aim to continually improve and strengthen our ability to be an efficient and effective organisation that is more responsive to the needs of our community.

We want our community and those who visit us to see and feel this commitment through our core values below.

Our values

When Council decided it was time to revisit our organisation's values, we knew our people had to be involved in discovering them. To uncover our values, we needed to ask ourselves who we are as a team, a workforce and a community.

We are excited to share our values – created by our people, for our people. We asked employees the ethics and behaviours they feel are most important at Redland City Council. From this, our four new values were created.
