- Planning expenditure with Council and the Unit executive to improve capability and effectiveness
- Promoting friendship and fellowship among our members

Keeping the lights on at Redland Bay
Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred showed how exposed we were when the power went down. RESVA funded a large generator so the Redland Bay Group's building and Emergency Operations Centre can keep working through outages.
