Delivering for our community – Council and infrastructure industry come together on Redlands Coast 

The $40 million upgrade of Wellington Street/Panorama Drive is one of the major infrastructure projects being delivered on Redlands Coast.

In showcasing its dedication to advancing project delivery on Redlands Coast, Redland City Council recently hosted its second annual briefing for infrastructure industry professionals.

Against a backdrop of Council achieving a record year for project delivery, 160 industry representatives attended the briefing at Alexandra Hills – some from as far away as Victoria.

Mayor Jos Mitchell said key Council officers took to the floor with information about Council’s procurement and tendering processes, and the best ways of working with the organisation to help deliver important infrastructure for the Redlands Coast community.

“The event also delivered a successful networking opportunity for the many planners, designers, asset managers, project managers and others who attended,” she said.

“It was great to have so many industry professionals engaging with Council to get a better idea of how to work with us and what our expectations are.

“The briefing also gave Council officers the opportunity to hear from the industry about their needs and processes, and how we as a local government can best work with them.

“With the infrastructure market tight and the costs of project delivery so challenged at present, events such as this, where Council and industry come together to see how we can all best deliver for our community, are vital.

“I was recently advised that Council’s inaugural infrastructure industry briefing in 2023 was a great success that set Council up for a year of delivering more projects in our city than in any other financial year.”

The Mayor said these projects included a more than $40 million investment in the Wellington Street/Panorama Road upgrade.

“This work is improving conditions for motorists by turning what was two very busy lanes into four,” she said.

“This is an outstanding result for our community, and events such as these industry briefings only help to forge and strengthen relationships with industry professionals in this highly competitive market.”

Other projects include the ongoing restoration of heritage-listed buildings at Willards Farm in Birkdale, citywide footpath and asphalt programs, island road sealing, multiple park upgrades across the city, and more.

Redland City Council provides a suite of services to 166,873 residents and more than 63,000 residential households across Redlands Coast. Our naturally wonderful city on Quandamooka Country is home to more than 335 kilometres of coastline, six island communities and 12 mainland suburbs. 

The Wellington Street / Panorama Drive Road Upgrade project is being delivered by Redland City Council. The project is supported by the Australian Government through the Infrastructure Investment Program and the Queensland Government through the Cycle Network Local Government Grants Program.
