Construction delays
Economic Development Queensland’s minor approval holdup has caused a delay in commencing the new recreational boat ramp and temporary car park construction, along with the removal of trees from Banana Street. These works are now set to kick off in October 2023 and wrap up in February 2024, contingent upon weather and other project constraints.
Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the Commercial Precinct
On August 9, 2023, Redland Investment Corporation (RIC), acting on behalf of the Council, announced the opening of expressions of interest (EOI) for a joint venture partner to oversee the commercial precinct development within the Weinam Creek Priority Development Area. This announcement was disseminated via a media release on the Council’s news website and distributed to local news media.
Following the EOI evaluation panel meeting on November 13, 2023, RIC project officers plan to present a report to the Council concerning the EOI submissions.
The Council will actively keep the community informed as more information becomes available.
The Weinam Creek Priority Development Area(PDA)
The Weinam Creek PDA represents a significant redevelopment initiative that will transform the Redland Bay waterfront. It is anticipated to generate over 700 jobs and inject nearly $30 million into the local economy. The precinct’s rejuvenation to create the new Marina Redland Bay will bring much-needed improvements to travel and transport, community and retail services, visitor attractions, and an enhanced foreshore with additional open space.
