DA Consulting in Redlands
Redlands has a unique bayside character with waterfront suburbs commanding premium prices. Low Density Residential zones require 400m² minimum lots. Rural Residential zones have higher thresholds at 6,000m² compared to 4,000m² in most other SEQ councils. The island communities (North Stradbroke, Coochiemudlo) have distinct planning constraints. Cleveland town centre is undergoing significant urban renewal.
