Redland City Council is installing a shared pathway along a section of Windemere Road, Alexandra Hills – creating more opportunities for the community to embrace active travel.
Acting Mayor Julie Talty said the upgrade supported Council’s vision of improving the city’s walking and cycling network.
“Council is serious about active travel and, in April this year, adopted the Redlands Coast Active Transport Strategy 2026–2046,” Cr Talty said.

“At the heart of this strategy is a commitment to make it easier for residents and visitors to walk, ride or catch public transport.
“Council’s corporate plan also identifies the delivery of an integrated and accessible active transport network as a priority for creating more liveable neighbourhoods.
“It’s about giving the community more flexibility over how they move around their suburbs and the city.
“Active travel not only helps to improve community connectivity but also has positive impacts on health and wellbeing, and can help reduce the burden of parking and transport infrastructure dominated by vehicles.”
Division 7 Councillor Rowanne McKenzie said the new Alexandra Hills shared pathway would extend from 40 Windemere Road to 74 Brompton Street.
“This will include a kerb ramp and traffic island at 43 Windemere Road, kerb ramps and traffic islands at 67 Brompton Street and 74 Brompton Street, and an upgrade of lighting at crossing points,” Cr McKenzie said.
“These upgrades will improve the safety and accessibility of active transport in the area, with the aim of encouraging more people to cycle for everyday travel and recreation.”
The pathway upgrade is proudly supported by the Queensland Government’s Active Transport Grants Program and the Australian Government’s Active Transport Fund.
The works are expected to be completed by 6 November 2026, weather and site conditions permitting.
