LOCALLY made woven ceiling lamps, ceramic mugs and merchandise are on show at a new visitor information centre at Raby Bay Harbour.
The centre run by Redland City Council has been moved from Redlands IndigiScapes Centre at Capalaba.
Mayor Karen Williams said the site was selected to best serve locals and visitors.
"The location of the new centre (next to Hog's Breath Cafe and adjacent to Cleveland railway station) aims to attract visitors and locals, including those travelling to Cleveland Nandeebie/Indillie) on their way to North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) either by car, bus, rail or boat," Cr Williams said.
"Visitors can drop in for a complimentary coffee and pick up the city's new holiday guide, which features more than 90 Redlands Coast tourism operators and contains a wealth of information about what makes Redlands Coast such a special place."
"When you visit the VIC you will get a warm welcome from our friendly staff, advice on where to find naturally wonderful Redlands Coast attractions on our islands, mainland and hinterland, where you can see native fauna and flora and enjoy the serenity of bushland trails and conservation areas, how you can step back in time and relive our exciting past on heritage trails and at local museums, where to find the best restaurants and eateries, and much more."
The centre's woven ceiling lamps were made by Minjerribah artist Anaheke Metua. Other wares like ceramic mugs by Thornlands artist Carys Martin and merchandise by renowned Quandamooka artist Delvene Cockatoo-Collins are available.
