#A Bright Future Ahead
The Redlands Coast Chamber of Commerce, through the Redlands Regional Jobs Committee, has partnered with local & state government and industry to deliver the Championing Redlands Coast (‘CRC’) initiative. The program seeks to develop a platform to work collaboratively in helping to shape a clear narrative and vision for Redlands Coast that showcases the potential of the region and provides certainty for local businesses, investors and the community that the city is working towards a common goal.
In mid 2020, Championing Redlands Coast engaged respected economist RPS group to undertake detailed research, engaging with industry and business within the region. Click here to learn more about the research piece and the findings.
The research sought to:
- Understand the city’s project and infrastructure pipeline;
- Identify employment and skilling opportunities;
- Attract investment and business;
- Assist in strategic direction and decision making; and,
- Help implement community and economic initiatives to improve the local economy overall.
In addition the industry research, the Championing Redlands Coast report received 42 surveys, directly interviewed 17 major project proponents and undertook 8 exit interviews.
The project identified 138 projects, $6billion in capital value and 12,250 construction job years. This assisted in building the vision for the Redlands Coast.

A Coordinated, Strategic Approach
The research identified that the Redlands Coast exists within a highly competitive region where other Local Governments are actively seeking to encourage the relocation of Redlands businesses out of the region and to capture new businesses and investments considering Redlands as a potential destination.
Maximising the competitiveness of the Redlands Coast requires more than leveraging the region’s natural environment and coastal amenity.
