Redland City, better known as the Redlands, is a local government area of South East Queensland, spread along the southern coast of Moreton Bay covering . Its mainland borders the cities of Brisbane to the west and north-west, and Logan to the south-west and south, while its islands are located north of the Gold Coast. Redland attained city status on 15 March 2008, having been a shire since 1949, when it was created by the merger of the former Tingalpa and Cleveland Shires.〔Queensland State Archives, Search for Agency Details of Redland City Council:http://www.archivessearch.qld.gov.au/Search/AgencyDetails.aspx?AgencyId=1689#bookmarkDescription, Retrieved 7 April 2014〕 Despite this status, the City consists of largely rural and coastal communities, featuring a somewhat disjointed urbanisation around major suburbs interspersed with bushland; there is no clear city centre. Large mainland suburbs include Capalaba, Cleveland, Victoria Point, and Redland Bay. The latter is the City's namesake, due to the colour of its fertile soil.〔David Tuffley, 2007, "Redland Bay, Australia: Introduction", Griffith University: http://www.ict.griffith.edu.au/~davidt/redlandbay/intro_red_bay.htm, Retrieved 7 September 2015〕 North Stradbroke Island and smaller nearby islands, most notably those of Southern Moreton Bay, comprise the eastern portion of the Redlands. ==History== On 11 November 1879, under the ''Divisional Boards Act 1879'', the Tingalpa Division was created to govern the area to the east of metropolitan Brisbane. On 30 May 1885, the area around Cleveland split away to form the Cleveland Division. Under the ''Local Authorities Act 1902'', both became Shires on 31 March 1903. The Tingalpa council met at Mount Cotton. On 1 October 1925, a sizeable portion of the Shire of Tingalpa (suburbs west of Tingalpa Creek, including Upper Mount Gravatt and Rochedale) became part of the new City of Brisbane along with 20 other local governments.〔Queensland Places, "Tingalpa", Centre for the Government of Queensland, University of Queensland: http://www.queenslandplaces.com.au/tingalpa, Retrieved 19 May 2015〕〔(City of Brisbane Act 1924 ) (accessed 19 May 2015)〕 On 9 December 1948, as part of a major reorganisation of local government in South East Queensland, an Order in Council renamed the Shire of Cleveland to be Shire of Redland and amalgamated part of Shire of Tingalpa into it (the other part of Tingalpa amalgamated to form the Shire of Albert).〔Queensland Places, "Redland City", Centre for the Government of Queensland, University of Queensland: http://www.queenslandplaces.com.au/redland-city, Retrieved 19 May 2015〕 On 15 March 2008, Redland was granted city status.〔Redland City Council, "Redlands City Community Plan Project Proposal", 18 March 2008: http://www.redland.qld.gov.au/AboutCouncil/CommunityPlan/Documents/Community_Plan/Project%20Proposal%20Final%20Version.pdf, Retrieved 19 May 2015〕〔The Redland Foundation, "About Us": http://www.redlandfoundation.org.au/about/, Retrieved 19 May 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Redland City」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
