Redland City Council has made a significant co-investment into the Birkdale Community Precinct, which will house the Redland Whitewater Centre. GIICA will deliver the Redland Whitewater Centre, working closely with Council through the planning, design and delivery phases of this project, while Council delivers the overarching precinct.

Protecting the surrounding environment and respecting cultural heritage are key priorities for the project. These considerations will be further defined and embedded through the design phase, ensuring that decisions reflect local values, ecological sensitivities, and cultural significance. Engagement with First Nations stakeholders, community, and environmental specialists will continue throughout the project to guide responsible and informed outcomes.

While an indicative area in an already cleared section of the Birkdale Community Precinct has been outlined, the exact footprint will be determined through the planning and design phase, and as we complete further site investigations. GIICA will also work closely with Redland City Council to confirm the most suitable location and access points within the broader precinct.

Water management plans, including sourcing, treatment, and recycling, will be determined through the planning and design phase, and as we complete further environmental and operational assessments. Sustainability and environmental safety will be key drivers in selecting appropriate methods.

The Redland Whitewater Centre is one component of a larger precinct, planned by Redland City Council. For further information about the Birkdale Community Precinct visit Council’s website.
