NSW - REDCLIFFE - THE FIRST EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT IN QUEENSLAND

Redcliffe Peninsula is a beachside City located 32kms north of Brisbane on beautiful Moreton Bay. The peninsula offers some of Queensland's best fishing and scenic panorama of Moreton Island and the Glasshouse Mountains.

It is hard to believe that not so long ago this now popular destination and thriving business centre had 70% unemployment and the highest youth suicide rate in Queensland.

Redcliffe City Council Mayor Alan Boulton came to office with a vision and a plan that has changed the face of Redcliffe forever. Turning a Doom Town into a Boom Town!

Find out just how this was accomplished and discover the investment and business opportunities that are available right now in Redcliffe. Meet some of the business people, hear about their lifestyle and the struggles and victories they have had within their industries.
