Redland Bay, Administrative division in Redland City, Australia.
Redland Bay is an administrative division within Redland City that includes the coastal area and the Southern Moreton Bay Islands under council jurisdiction. The region is served by a ferry terminal at Weinam Creek that links it to several nearby islands for transport.
Early economic activity centered on cotton farming before farmers shifted to sugar production and later fruit and vegetable cultivation. This agricultural progression shaped the region's early settlement and development.
The area has several parks like Sel Outridge Park and Point Talburpin Park where locals and visitors spend time outdoors and enjoy the surroundings. These green spaces shape how the community gathers and socializes, with families often using them throughout the year.
Regular passenger and vehicle ferry services operate from Weinam Creek terminal to connect with nearby islands. Plan visits during ferry operating hours and consider weather conditions that may affect the service.
From the 1950s to 1971, the area served as a flying boat base for Ansett and Qantas, transporting passengers to Sydney and Pacific islands. This air service made it a significant transport hub before that aviation use ended.
