Building evidence and sharing knowledge is key to ensuring that our advocacy is informed and meaningful for our community. It also supports our decision making and the way we prioritise the activities under the Champion Redlands Coast initiative. We also use research to learn more about our community’s needs and aspirations, about our future, and share important messages from our research through our marketing strategy.

In 2020, the Champion Redlands Coast with the support of the Regional Jobs Committee, engaged RPS Group to provide some foundational research and evidence to inform how Champion Redlands Coast would be shaped, to provide important information about our project pipeline, and how to promote key economic drivers. In 2021, RPS Group was commissioned once again to provide an update to the project pipeline and to help us understand more about the role of precincts, our future skills requirements, and to learn about the valuable professional skills and knowledge that already exists here on the Redlands Coast and how we might leverage this towards a bright future for the Redlands Coast. 

This report supported by the Australian Government’s Building Better Regions Fund and Regional Jobs Committee will be due for release in March 2022.
