Weinam Creek Redevelopment – Master Plan gets the green light
The master plan for Redland City Council’s Weinam Creek Priority Development Area (PDA) is now approved.
The next stages of the Weinam Creek PDA redevelopment will be commencing from mid-2022. This follows approval from Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) in December 2021.
New road work improvements
This next stage will bring vital road infrastructure improvements to Banana Street and create an extension of Hamilton Street, generating a new loop road for better public access to the Marina Ferry Terminal.
The rejuvenation of Weinam Creek is set to create more than 700 jobs and generate almost $30 million for the local economy, as well as deliver much-needed transport upgrades, community services and local jobs.
Redland Investment Corporation (RIC), on behalf of Redland City Council (Council), is delivering this catalyst project that will transform Redland Bay into a vibrant waterfront precinct with restaurants, cafes, a supermarket, more parking, new walkways and more open space.
RIC, on behalf of Council, negotiated a land swap agreement with the State Government that saw land at the ferry terminal transferred to Council. This will form part of the Weinam Creek PDA upgrade. In exchange, Council land on Meissner Street was transferred to Queensland Health to use as the site for a satellite hospital, to further support our island and southern Redlands Coast community.
Stage 1 of the Weinam Creek PDA project has already delivered more than 500 new parking spaces at Moores Road, new pathways, and a footbridge.
