Hilton Travis – Leading Change in the Redlands
Working With And For Our Community
To have effective and positive change in a community, a deep understanding of the history of the community, the current status of the community, and the hopes and dreams of the community members is needed. The Lived Experience of the community along with valid and relevant data can be combined to present a workable future plan to various Government Departments, Organisations and Funding Partners to bring about effective and positive change.

Community-focused
To bring benefits for your community, you must first listen to and understand your community.
Strategic Vision
Teamwork across different sectors and with multiple organisations benefits the whole region.
Professional Approach
If we claim to stand for something, we need to actually show we stand for it.
Hilton Travis has ties to the Redlands going back some 40 years. He has been living on Macleay Island for over 9 years and has been actively involved in community support right across the entire Southern Moreton Bay Islands and the wider Redlands region.
Without understanding who our community is, what our community needs, and the dreams and vision of our community, we cannot develop sustainable and acceptable strategic plans to progress our City. They say that “team work makes the dream work” and only by everyone working as a team – with our communities as the focus – can we bring positive results to everybody in the Redlands.
If we say that we stand for something, we must show we stand for it in our actions as Community Leaders. Our actions as Community Leaders represent everyone in our region and we must therefore take onboard widely varying inputs and come up with solutions that address the wider needs of our community.
Community Leaders Put Community First
Our communities are crying out to be listened to and treated like they matter. We must listen to and act on the needs of our communities.
