Master planning a cycle route from Brisbane to the New South Wales border

Overview

Action 4.4: Continue to investigate feasibility of a marked cycling route from Brisbane to Gold Coast including options for branding and marketing, infrastructure upgrades, governance arrangements, funding and staged delivery.

Lead agency: Department of Transport and Main Roads

Status: Being finalised

Achievements

We commenced master planning for a high quality and safe bicycle route from Brisbane to the New South Wales border including connections to key locations on the Gold Coast.

The planning identified new active transport infrastructure planned by major projects in the corridor such as the Coomera Connector and M1 upgrades. It also considered all potential active transport routes that could be developed using planned infrastructure to create a continuous route. 

We identified a preferred core route, along with several viable alternative routes and developed a proposed delivery strategy in consultation with stakeholders.

Next steps

A draft Brisbane to Border Cycle Route Masterplan setting out a vision and 10-year plan to deliver the preferred route and identify supporting alternative routes, is expected to be available for consideration in 2023.
