Redland Shire
Community Survey
NFS National Field Services, sponsored by CARP Inc, conducted
a survey amongst 400 Redland Shire residents. The survey shows that, if given a
real choice, Redland Shire residents are prepared to make clear choices about their future. It tells
us too, that Redlanders are like-minded, for the
preferences and choices indicated by Shire residents as a whole are reflected
consistently.
Survey
results summary are as follows:
Redland
Shire Residents …
- Believe that there are negative
consequences to continuing population growth, and recognise
that there are limits.
- Prefer to retain the Shire’s
semi-rural and rural lands than to develop these lands to create more
local jobs.
- Prefer improved public transport
to commercial and industrial areas outside the Shire, over industrial
development of the Redlands’
wildlife habitats and rural lands.
- Are not prepared to accept a
decline in koala numbers in order to accommodate more people in the Shire.
- Support limits on the number of
dwellings in order to preserve the Shire’s village atmosphere, the bush,
the Bay and the semi-rural landscapes.
- Expect Redland Shire Council to
conduct public consultation in all important Town Planning decisions and
development applications.
- Do not support expansion of the
urban footprint.
- Would limit population growth in
the Shire if given the choice.
