Redland City Council’s long-term association with the Land for Wildlife Program has been recognised with the south-east Queensland program winning the 2024 Local Government Managers Australia (LGMA) Award for Excellence in the Collaboration category.

Mayor Jos Mitchell said Council had partnered with private property owners and many other collaborative stakeholders for 25 years, supporting land conservation efforts through education, resourcing and on ground support.

“Working together, these groups have supported threatened species, restored degraded lands and assisted in providing habitat and movement corridors for our local wildlife,” she said.

Land for Wildlife Regional Coordinator SEQ Deborah Metters and Council’s Senior Environmental Partnerships Officer Maree Manby with the LGMA Award for Excellence.

“Collaboration is the key to land conservation in south-east Queensland, with more than 50 per cent of biodiversity values existing on private land.

“Including Redland City Council there are 13 participating south-east Queensland councils working together to support private landholders’ land conservation efforts through the Land for Wildlife South East Queensland (LfWSEQ) program.”

LfWSEQ is fully funded and led by participating councils with its services free of charge to private landholders.

This year the program encompasses more than 79,000ha of south-east Queensland habitat, representing more than 5600 participating properties.

 

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.
