Redland City is the jewel in the crown of South East Queensland, and the gateway to the magnificent Moreton Bay and the Bay islands. It is also located within easy access of Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Port of Brisbane.

Redland City has extensive natural environmental assets and major tracts of native vegetation – a source of local amenity, a growing tourism industry and critical wildlife habitats and corridors for adjacent regions. Redland City Council has initiated significant measures to protect the environment and wildlife and was named Queensland's most sustainable city in 2012. Point Lookout on North Stradbroke Island is recognised as one of the best land-based vantage points for whale watching on the east coast of Australia.

The City is also a mecca for visual and performing artists. Macleay Island (one of the Southern Moreton Bay Islands) has gained a reputation as one of SEQ's most creative destinations with more than 250 painters, silversmiths, potters, sculptors, photographers, actors, singers amongst its 3500 residents.

This area has a rich history, stunning natural attractions and enormous potential for investment in established and growing industry sectors.

Redland City Council is encouraging major investment as it prepares for significant growth and economic development.

Redland City Council is committed to raising the profile of the City as a location for business investment as well as playing a primary role in the support and development of business opportunities.  This is achieved through some of the following activities:

• Promoting the region to a broad business and government audience
• Identifying and nurturing business clusters/networks
• Providing a point of liaison between business and Council
• Activities to encourage importing and exporting to/from the City
• Encouraging training and business development initiatives
• Networking with government and industry leaders, as well as community groups and organisations in collaboration to research and develop opportunities for business growth within the region
• Positioning and branding of Redlands within the 'Redlands Coast' promotional campaign
• Development and implementation of the Economic Development Action Plans
• Providing advice to other areas of Policy and Planning with regard to issues such as the packaging of available industrial land and commercial space for new businesses, and other policy development issues with Economic Development implications
• Identifying investment opportunities which might be supported by Council

Priority Development Areas (PDAs) are parcels of land within Queensland that have been identified for specific accelerated development with a focus on economic growth and community development.

Currently, there are two PDAs in Redlands: Toondah Harbour and Weinam Creek. The Toondah Harbour $1.39 billion revitalisation represents unrivalled tourism, cultural and economic growth ppportunities for South East Queensland, while the Weinam Creek redevelopment will be a regional gateway to Moreton Bay with opportunities for a transport hub and waterfront commercial and recreational precinct.
