City of Moreton Bay has granted the Redcliffe and Districts Radio Club a $1 per annum peppercorn lease to install radio repeater infrastructure.

The new five-year lease will allow the Club to run its repeater from a new location, complementing its existing community lease for their clubhouse.

Mayor Peter Flannery is glad to see local groups are benefitting from Council’s lease agreements.

“Community groups are extremely important to City of Moreton Bay residents, and our peppercorn leases allow them to continue operating at a low cost, helping ease the stress of operating costs.

“The Redcliffe and Districts Radio Club brings together radio and electronic enthusiasts from across the City to share their passion for amateur radio. Supporting their repeater site means more opportunities for members to participate and grow the hobby.

“Our community leases are central to continue making it possible for our residents to focus on doing what they love, rather than focusing on the financial barriers.

“With close to 400 community leases across the City, this is one of the many ways we support local groups who make City of Moreton Bay such a vibrant and welcoming place,” Mayor Flannery concluded.

Councillor Karl Winchester (Division 6) is proud to be putting residents first by supporting local clubs through Council’s $1 a year community leases.

“The Redcliffe and Districts Radio Club has been part of the Redcliffe community since 1971, and we’ve proudly supported them with a community lease for their clubhouse since 2001.

“The additional lease for their repeater site means the club can continue growing and operating with confidence. It opens the door for City of Moreton Bay’s radio lovers to get involved, learn new skills, and discover the value of amateur radio,” Cr Winchester concluded.
