FAQs

Council recognises active transport as an important means to get around the city. Investment on active transport helps reduce reliance on driving. Additionally, these transport modes cater for more than 20% Redlands City population who don’t drive.

Benefits of active transport include:

• lessening environmental impacts such as green-house gas emissions; 
• Containing congestion by reducing the number of trips taken by car;
• improved user fitness and health; 
• greater community connections; and
• even greater support for local businesses.

This document guides Council on how we can achieve goals to reduce our reliance on private vehicles and improve travel choice for residents, visitors and employees, while contributing to a more sustainable city.

Delivering the right infrastructure where it is needed will enable people to walk and ride more, such as to schools, town centres, ferry terminals and train stations.

Council will work with schools, employers and others to provide safe and convenient options for getting around. E.g Walking School Bus.   These could be tied to improvements to infrastructure around a major destination.

Council will also provide information on and increase people’s awareness of their travel options.

Yes. Council would like to hear from people with a disability and advocates to ensure accessibility and inclusion concerns are addressed in the Strategy, which reflect the priorities of our community.

Many residents commute to Brisbane CBD and Inner city by public transport. Improving walking and riding facilities around stations, ferry terminals and bus stops will mean that you can walk or ride to them instead of driving. Council and others will provide end-of-trip facilities (such as safe bike racks or cages and lockers) as well, so that you can safely leave you cycle or device while you go about your business. You can also now take your cycle or device on trains and ferries.

Cleveland has been identified as a potential major commercial precinct in Redland City. As the city grows, so do the number of trips to and within Cleveland. This plan considers ways to minimise traffic impacts of further trips while supporting the Cleveland Centre to thrive.

This Plan is an update to the Cleveland Centre Traffic and Transport Plan (2019).. It reflects emerging transport trends and changes that were not envisaged 6 years ago. 

It  supports Cleveland Centre becoming a vibrant gateway to Moreton Bay, enabling residents, visitors and workers to reach leisure, shopping, jobs and other opportunities easily and safely by foot, while accessing the centre and areas beyond it by a range of modes.

Public transport is a state responsibility, but Council recognises its importance in increasing people’s travel choices. It is Council’s role to advocate  for better services, as well as  promoting other transport alternatives such as ride-sharing and active transport.

This is what you told us in 2018. Ensuring the centre remains safe and pleasant to walk and ride around is critical as the centre develops over the next 20 years, while also improving connectivity to and beyond it.
