Redland Bay is a township at the southern end of
Redland City. Redland Bay is some 35 km (22
miles) south-east of Brisbane, the capital of
Queensland, Australia. The township is named for
the bay it sits on, which forms part of larger
Moreton Bay.

In the two decades that followed, the decision was
made by the Redland Shire Council to permit
suburban development in and around Redland
Bay. With land zoning changing from rural
to residential, and the corresponding steep rise in
rates (local government land tax), Redland Bay's
farmers found they could no longer compete with
other farming areas not as close to a major
metropolitan area.
