Redcliffe Economic Development Strategy
The City of Redcliffe is home to approximately 50,000 people and is located 45 minutes north of Queensland's capital city, Brisbane. As part of its role in managing services to the City, the Council required a multi-faceted economic development strategy that directed sustainable city development.
SGS's in-depth statistical research and analysis, and consultation program informed the production of a Tourism Strategy, Marketing Plan and Implementation Plan. Following Council and community endorsement, SGS was retained to assist with the implementation of projects identified for immediate action. This work included the facilitation of three 'Inspiration Evenings' and the provision of advice on a preferred model for managing Redcliffe's economic development functions. A key outcome was the publication and delivery of an information paper entitled, "Delivery of Economic Development Services to the City of Redcliffe".
The Strategy was awarded a Certificate of Merit in the 'Social and Community Based Planning' category at the 2002 Planning Institute of Australia Awards of Excellence.
