Our Future Redland City: Corporate Plan 2026-2031

In Queensland, the Local Government Act 2009 requires councils to prepare a five-year Corporate Plan that sets out the strategic direction and outlines how progress towards the city’s vision will be measured.

On 10 December 2025, Council adopted its new Corporate Plan, Our Future Redland City: Corporate Plan 2026-2031(PDF, 1MB) and this plan will commence on 1 July 2026.

Our Future Redland City: Corporate Plan 2026-2031 supersedes Our Future Redlands – A Corporate Plan to 2026 and Beyond(PDF, 6MB) which commenced on 1 July 2021 and will conclude on 30 June 2026.

About our new Plan

Our newly adopted Corporate Plan aligns with our city vision: A naturally wonderful Lifestyle. Connected communities. Embracing opportunities. It sets the direction for Redland City through 2031, outlining what we want to achieve and what we’ll focus on to get there.

Our Future Redland City: Corporate Plan 2026-2031 goals are:

Strong communities – Proud, resilient and vibrant communities, where everyone belongs
Sustainable environments – Clean, green and thriving natural environments respected, nurtured and enjoyed by all
Liveable neighbourhoods – Distinctive and well-designed places to live, work and play
Prosperous economy – A flourishing and evolving economy attracting investment, innovation and opportunity
Efficient and effective Council – A well-governed and future-focused Council that leads, listens and delivers

Each goal is supported by clear outcomes, priorities, strategies, plans, and programs that enable the delivery of the Plan.

Key guiding documents include the Financial Strategy 2024–2034(PDF, 1MB), the Strategic Asset Management Plan 2019–2029(PDF, 4MB) and other long-term strategies. Together, these plans provide a clear framework for decision making and resource allocation over the next five years.

Specific projects, initiatives, and activities will be detailed through the annual Operational Plan. These initiatives will be reviewed annually in line with available budget, funding opportunities, and community priorities, ensuring flexibility and alignment with legislative requirements.

Consultation process

The consultation process for the newly adopted Corporate Plan review and development captured community feedback over two phases from 614 participants through an online survey, nine focus group sessions and six pop-up events. The online survey page received a total of 4,111 unique viewers over both phases. Phase one captured community priorities over a five-week engagement period, which was used to create the first draft of the Plan. Phase two captured feedback on how the draft Plan could be improved. All submissions were considered in the finalisation of the draft Plan before it was returned to Council for adoption.
