About Redlands Matters
Redlands Matters is a grassroots community group for the Redlands/Bowman electorate, founded by locals who believe our community deserves a genuine voice.
By the community, for the community
Redlands Matters grew from a simple feeling shared by many locals — that community voices should be at the centre of decisions about our area.
We're people who live on the Redlands Coast and care about its future. We're not backed by corporations or unions — we're supported by the community.
Our focus is simple: listen to locals, understand what matters to them, and stay connected to the community we're part of.
"The Redlands deserves people who are part of the community — who live here, shop here, and get what families are facing."
Our Values
Community First
Every decision we make is guided by what's best for the people of the Redlands — focused on local needs, local voices, and what matters to the community.
Trust
We believe representatives should stay closely connected to the people they serve — being open, honest, and straightforward in how they work and communicate.
Community Knowledge
We're part of this community — we live here, shop here, and share the same roads, schools, and hospitals. That everyday local experience shapes everything we do.
Independent Voice
Focused entirely on the Redlands, we can make decisions based on what matters most to the local community.
