The school was on the eastern side of Finnemores Road (approx 26°15′00″S 152°00′24″E / 26.25006°S 152.00660°E).[4][5] In 1934, the school was relocated to 19 Goschnicks Road (26°16′15″S 152°01′08″E / 26.27097°S 152.01876°E).[6][7][8][9] It closed on 31 December 1973.[10]
A community hall existed in Redgate for many years, although it has since been removed on an unknown date. The hall was mentioned in the Brisbane Courier newspaper on 23 August 1924 when it was reported – "A meeting of the committee of the Redgate Hall was held last week, when the following committee was elected: Messrs. E. Horton. G.Young, A. Sippel, W. Goschnick. W. Notts, and C. Bischioff."[11]
