Redland Bay Marina parking petition sent to CEO for operational review
Redland City Council has received a petition seeking a temporary suspension of parking infringement notices at Redland Bay Marina and referred it to the chief executive officer for consideration.
A petition calling for a temporary suspension of parking infringement notices at Redland Bay Marina has been referred to Redland City Council’s chief executive officer for consideration.
The referral was made at the council’s 18 February meeting, where councillors resolved to receive the petition and treat it as an operational matter. The resolution did not suspend infringements or set any immediate change to parking enforcement at the marina.
The issue was also raised earlier in the meeting during public participation, when Macleay Island resident Les Barkla addressed council about an online petition requesting the temporary suspension of parking infringements at Redland Bay Marina.
For marina users and residents travelling through the site, the practical position remains unchanged for now. Any change to enforcement would depend on operational follow-up after the petition is considered.
The petition was put forward under Item 7.2 by Councillor Shane Rendalls and was carried unanimously, 10 votes to nil, with Mayor Jos Mitchell absent from the meeting.
Council dealt with several other petitions the same day, including requests about miniature goats, an off-leash dog area at Byng Road Park in Birkdale, and EFTPOS payment options for printing and photocopy stations at council libraries. Those matters were also referred for further consideration rather than decided on the spot.
No timeframe for the Redland Bay Marina petition review was set out in the resolution recorded in the public minutes.
