Council is taking steps to enhance our outdoor spaces.
Councillors today launched a $3 million Active Travel Program which will see new footpaths to fill missing links across suburbs from Gordonvale to Palm Cove.
The program includes new footpaths to be constructed at the following locations:
- Kamerunga Road, Stratford - from Primo Street to Passchendaele Street
- McCoombe Street, Mooroobool - from Moignard Street to Smallwood Street
- McCoombe Street, Westcourt - from Mulgrave Road to Givens Street
- Givens Street, Westcourt - from McCoombe to Tills Street
- Pease Street, Edge Hill - from Richardson Street to Saltwater Creek
- Mount Peter Road, Edmonton
- Grove Street, Cairns North - from existing on Wilkinson Street to Martyn St (Lily Creek Path)
- Greenslopes Street, Edge Hill
- Veivers Road, Palm Cove - from Captain Cook Highway to Oliva Street
- Wattle Street, Yorkeys Knob - from district sports park to Esplanade
- Moore Street, Trinity Beach - from Corinda Close to Trinity Beach Road
- Poolwood Road, Kewarra Beach
- Leftwich Street, White Rock
- George Street, Gordonvale - from the crossing to Cairns Road
- Lennon Street, Manunda.
As part of the 2025-26 Active Travel budget, $2 million has been allocated in a new pilot called the Neighbourhood Pathways Program, which will open for consultation later this month.
The community can identify small-scale pathway related projects they believe will enhance the quality of life in their neighbourhood – connecting people with people.
