Johnny Depp has been a boon for the Redland economy

Redland city mayor Karen Williams said the actor had helped seal the city's status on the Hollywood film locations map.

After filming finished on Thursday, she presented him with a parting gift of a small indigenous boomerang, clapping sticks, a Quandamooka Salt Water Murri scarf, picnic blanket and bush tucker jams.

"Despite early starts and long days filming on the water, Depp has been incredibly gracious when returning to shore in the afternoons, greeting hundreds of fans while still in costume and soaking up the local hospitality," Cr Williams said.

"Many of the 250 cast and crew have been staying in Redlands accommodation since Monday, eating at our local restaurants, filling their tanks at our petrol stations and spending locally on a range of products and services.

"Filming has occurred in the region thanks to council's tireless work with the film's location manager since late last year to get the crew here, bringing priceless international tourism coverage for the Redlands now and when the film is released."

To celebrate, the council will put on free screenings of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl in Raby Bay Harbour Park on Saturday, June 13.

Guests are encouraged to wear onesies to support the St Vinnies homeless appeal.
