Redland City Council will discuss an economic strategy for North Stradbroke Island after the state government yesterday announced it would set up a joint committee.
Division 2 councillor Craig Ogilvie put forward a motion on today's agenda before yesterday's announcement.
The council will also vote on updating some of its local laws including one to allow miniature pigs to be kept within the city's boundaries.
The future of a controversial 150-year-old Cook Island palm tree at Wellington Point will also be discussed.
Council will consider whether to revoke a protection order on the tree or provide funding for further testing to check for rot in the tree.
There is expected to be debate about a package of major and minor amendments to the Redlands Planning Scheme, which included changes to bushfire hazard maps on North Stradbroke Island and adjusting Canal and Lakeside reports.
Other proposed amendments include changes to the Major Centre zoning to make tenancy changes for aged care homes, apartment buildings, shops and tourist accommodation self-assessable.
Amendments also include easing of height restrictions in major centre zones in Cleveland and categorising Redland Bay as a district centre to allow large supermarkets.
Other proposed changes include making mobile home parks on more than 1.5ha code assessable to allow for more affordable housing.
Council will also decide on whether to include a new category governing canal and lakeside developments to regulate construction of waterfront buildings that may affect canal walls.
The proposed changes would also include an assessment fee of $1275 for developments on canals and lakesides.
