The recently released Draft Redland Housing Strategy has sparked a wave of optimism and excitement among residents and developers alike. With its focus on creating vibrant communities, preserving natural ecosystems, and addressing the housing shortage, this strategy presents a unique opportunity for the Redlands to flourish. By embracing change and carefully planning for sustainable growth, the region can unlock its full potential and create a brighter future for all.
COMPREHENSIVE HOUSING STRATEGY
The Draft Redland Housing Strategy aims to revitalise high-amenity areas by developing smaller lots, promoting infill development, and enhancing liveability. It also includes seven-story apartment blocks in medium-change areas, promoting urban density and mixed-use developments.
BALANCING GROWTH AND CONSERVATION
The plan also prioritises the preservation of wetlands and marine ecosystems, ensuring a healthy balance between growth and environmental conservation. During the consultation period, residents can actively shape the future of their region.
The strategy also identifies prospective growth regions like Southern Redland Bay, Southern Thornlands, and the Toondah Harbour Priority Development Area, all of which enable sustainable development and a dynamic seaside community.
