REDLANDS homeowners could face higher rates after new Queensland Government land valuations revealed a sharp increase in property values across the city.
The latest figures show land values in Redland City have risen by 20 per cent since 2024, reflecting strong demand for property across South-East Queensland.
Although Redland City Council does not set land valuations, it must use the figures provided by the State Government when calculating general rates.
Redland City Acting Mayor Julie Talty said significant increases in valuations could result in higher rate rises for some homeowners.
“If you believe your new valuation is excessive, you should put your case to the State Government as a matter of urgency,” Cr Talty said.
The valuations were released by the Queensland Government Department of Resources on March 11 and will take effect from June 30, 2026.
Property owners who believe their valuation is incorrect have 60 days to lodge an objection, with the deadline set for May 11.
According to the Valuer-General, the Redland Local Government Area revaluation covered 63,778 properties with a combined land value exceeding $42.2 billion.
The valuations reflect land values as at October 1, 2025 and highlight the continued strength of the region’s property market.
The State Government says several factors are driving the increases across Redland City, including limited land supply failing to keep pace with buyer demand, continued interstate migration to South-East Queensland, affordability pressures in nearby Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and strong investor interest in well-located properties.
Residents wanting to review their valuation or lodge an appeal can visit the Queensland Government’s 2026 Land Valuations website or contact the State Valuer-General on 1300 664 217.
