Raby Bay Fishing Pier and Beach Sand
20th June 2024
Great to see some overdue community projects now completed by Redland City Council in Raby Bay. The long awaited removal of the old Masthead Drive Fishing Pier and rehabilitation on the canal side, with pathway, landscaping and seating. This also included the construction of a concrete hard stand, seating and pathway for fishing at the western end of the Foreshore Park, overlooking Endeavour Canal.
Redland City Council have also replenished the eroded beaches on Foreshore Park with fresh and clean beach sand.

A 'Special Resolution' vote was called, for the proposal to change RBRA's Name and this was voted and passed by the Members present. RBRA will present this to the OFT for approval.

"Light Up the Canals"
Raby Bay Christmas Lights Competition Results
25th December 2023
Thank you to all of our Members who submitted their canal Christmas lights display for RBRA’s 2023 Christmas Lights Competition. We were thrilled to receive such a positive response. In particular, to see all the effort and “creative artistry” that went into the displays. Well done!
Judging was indeed a challenge; however after much debate and an extensive “sail-past” we are pleased to announce the outcome of this year’s RBRA “Light up the Canals” Christmas Lights Competition:
1st Place: 2 Seahaven Court
2nd Place: 24 Voyagers Court
3rd Place: 3 Bonaventure Court
In addition, a special Recognition Award goes to the following entrants:
14 Caravel Court 35 Seacrest Court 24 Caravel Court
From our “sail-past” we were especially impressed by a number of canals with Christmas lights displays and unfortunately not all the houses registered for the competition. Many photos were taken and we have posted just a selection... enjoy!
Thank you to all who have helped bring the Christmas Spirit to Raby Bay this year by “Lighting up the Canals”. We look forward to an even bigger and more exciting display next year. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year for 2024.
Peter Brooks,
President RBRA Proudly sponsored by the Raby Bay Residents Association
