The Redlands, now

The Redlands, as with most of South East Queensland is undergoing a population boom, which puts pressure on our existing infrstructures such as water, roads and demand for housing. To accomodate the latter, traditional farming land is being reclaimed for housing estates. This is rapidly changing the face of the Redlands from a laid back coastal town to a high-paced satellite city.

Wildlife and their habitat are suffering as a result of the increased population and we need sustainable measures imposed immediately so we do not lose native wildlife forever in the Redlands. Redlands Wildlife is committed to making this happen, by pressuring Redland City Council ourselves and working with other similarly focused groups to ensure Redland City Council act in a wildlife friendly manner.
