Top priorities revealed for 2025

Suttons Beach and helping the homeless are among the priorities for Redcliffe’s elected representatives this year.

Sporting and transport infrastructure, “liveability projects” and the new Garden Organics (GO) bins also make the top three.

For Councillor Sandra Ruck (Div 5) getting funding for the Nathan Road Sports Complex and Nathan Road is high on her list for 2025.

Continuing work on a club for Redcliffe Padres Baseball Club and working with the State Government to tackle homelessness are also key.

Cr Karl Winchester (Div 6) says starting the new Suttons Beach pavilion is a priority to “breathe renewed life into the foreshore as soon as possible” – a priority shared with Mayor Peter Flannery.

Also “liveability projects” such as accessible toilets for Pender Riding for the Disabled, renewing playgrounds at Dalton Park and new seawalls at Charlish Park, Redcliffe and Crockatt Park, Woody Point.

Cr Winchester says he will continue calling for more affordable and social housing and an established emergency camping site for people sleeping rough.

Homelessness and housing are also among Mayor Peter Flannery’s priorities this year, working with the State Government on more social and affordable homes.

“We are doing all we can in this area, but it continues to be a growing issue that needs addressing,” he said.

The Moreton Bay ferry service (Bay Cats), along Redcliffe’s coastline, is also a priority beside working on the Buchanan Rd Overpass in Morayfield and Moreton Connector at Griffin.

Mayor Flannery is also hoping to see residents “enthusiastically and correctly” using Council’s new kerbside GO collection of garden organics.

“This service is essential for all modern, sustainable and environmentally focused cities,” he said.
