I hope that my initial effort will not be the last and I would encourage others to refine what I have put down. Much of the information comes from the Council Library's excellent Local History collection and the many studies that have been done at both the State and Council level trying to cope with the influx of population. The small section on the Russell Island land scams could easily be treated as a page of its own. The scam has entered Australian folklore and the stigma continues to depress the price of land on the island. A great story if someone would like to work on it. -- Leeshipley 20:34, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Probably because the bulk of the article is from Council sources, it omits criticism from environmental activist groups. The Raby Bay fiasco would also be worth mentioning, along with its relationship to Joh. Also missing is federal electoral information; the annual strawberry festival (and its decline) and perhaps some information on climate. -- DLeonard
This article is about Redland city, not the city council. It should be moved, but care needs to be paid to avoiding double redirects, as the article has been moved recently. aliasd· U· T 07:54, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Information in the section titled Economy lacks citations. If sources for this information are not cited the information will have to be removed. Panthus ( talk) 10:35, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
So the "Economy" section has this paragraph:
During the year ending in June 2014, an estimated 41,506 jobs were located in Redland City, along with an estimated 74,089 employed residents, meaning 32,035 (or 47.1%) of Redland City’s employed residents who work travel outside of the area to do so.
I would dispute the claim that "47.1% of workers travel outside the area" - not only could they could they be self-employed, but it fails to account for the people who live in other areas (such as Brisbane or Logan) who commute to the Redlands. Please let me know if anyone has any objections before I delete this paragraph. Prawn Skewers ( talk) 10:15, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
It may be that the marketing campaign to promote the name Redland Coast will be successful and people will begin to call it by that name and hence it will be justified to say it is “known as” that name in the article’s lede, but just announcing the campaign does not make it so. WP:CRYSTAL.It is not unreasonable to add to the article that such a campaign has been agreed/initiated with citation, but it is not lede-worthy at this time. Kerry ( talk) 13:09, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
Having added citations for the last 5 censuses, it turns out that the uncited data that was in the article for those years was incorrect. So it begs the question of the accuracy of all the early years of uncited data. Unless someone provides citations, I think we should remove it. Kerry ( talk) 22:27, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
