Advertising disclosure
Last updated: August 2026
This independent community guide may display non-intrusive advertising (for example Google AdSense) to help cover hosting, maintenance and ongoing verification of planning links. Editorial content comes first. Advertising is not an endorsement of any product, service, developer or government body.
What this site is (and is not)
southernthornlands.com.au is a place-first information resource about the Southern Thornlands locality and its Priority Development Area context. It is not a real-estate portal, investment newsletter, developer brochure site, or official EDQ/Council channel.
What we will not do
- Real-estate sales funnels, project “register interest” widgets, or developer marketing as editorial
- Affiliate hard-sells for property, finance, “unlock potential”, or speculative investment products
- Ads or content that impersonate official EDQ or Council notices
- Pop-ups, sticky sales bars, or auto-playing media that undermine trust and readability
- Above-the-fold ad clutter that pushes primary content below the fold on mobile
What we may do
- Display standard display advertising via networks such as Google AdSense on suitable content pages (for example after key sections, mid-article, or footer-adjacent)
- Prefer lighter or no ads on pure legal pages (this page, privacy, terms, disclaimer) and keep contact uncluttered
- Link to official free public services (EDQ, Council, Translink, BOM) without monetising those as affiliate products
Labelling and control
When ad units are live, they should be visually distinguishable from editorial content. Individual creatives are selected by the ad network within their policies; we do not write those ads. You can often limit personalised advertising via browser settings and Google’s ad settings. See our privacy policy.
Independence
Accepting network advertising does not create affiliation with EDQ, Redland City Council, or any developer. Planning facts remain driven by official public sources. See the disclaimer.
