School holiday fun

Bookings are now open for Council’s popular school holiday program for youngsters aged four to 18. Activities like arts and craft, workshops, gymnastics, excursions and library events are held around the Redlands. Most are low-cost or free but fill up fast – so book early!

For more information, visit Council’s website or drop by our Capalaba or Cleveland Customer Service Centres.

Water and wastewater price plan

Redland City Council has adopted a Water and Wastewater Mitigation Plan for all residential and small business customers. Once the water and wastewater price cap imposed by the state government ends on 30 June 2013, council will continue to work to keep the price of water for all as low as possible.

The Water and Wastewater Mitigation Plan details council’s strategy to ease the burden of unnecessary price increases. The plan is available for inspection at Council Customer Service Centres at Cleveland and Capalaba or view it on Councils website.
