The Lake Macquarie club finished well clear of neighbours Swansea-Belmont in 39th, while Caves Beach finished 61st, and Catherine Hill Bay 62nd.
Redhead's success was built on a number of outstanding results, none more so than the open male taplin relay, where Stewart McLachlan, Isak Costello, Ethan Whiteman, Daniel Collins, Peter Scott and Mark Stowe took silver.
Among other leading results for the club, McLachlan won his third straight open board title, and Justin McMorland won the under-17 title.
Lily Costello took out the under-17 ironwoman, while Daniel Collins took silver in the under-19 ironman.
In the swim events, Lily Costello won the under-17 race, Daniel Collins was second in the under-19 race, and sister Jessica Collins finished second in the belt.
There was also a hard-fought bronze for McLachlan, Costello and McMorland in the open board relay, while the latter took silver with Collins in the under-19 board rescue, and Jessica Collins and Lily Costello took bronze in the open division of the same event.
The other medal result for the region came from Swansea-Belmont, with Angela Leadbeatter winning her third open female 2-kilometre beach run title.
