Coolangatta Walking Network Plan

We need your input for Coolangatta’s Walking Network Plan
The City of Gold Coast is developing a Walking Network Plan (WNP) for Coolangatta to create a safer, more accessible, and better‑connected network of walking and riding routes throughout the area. Your feedback will help improve local paths, crossings, and links between key destinations so walking and active travel become easier, safer, and more enjoyable for everyone.

The Coolangatta WNP focuses on:

• connecting key community and recreation areas in the study area shown in the maps
• improving pedestrian safety: Identifying unsafe crossings, areas with high vehicle speeds, and places where safer pedestrian and school‑related routes are needed
• enhancing everyday walking and riding: Looking at missing footpaths and shared paths, shaded routes, lighting, accessibility improvements and more comfortable connections throughout the suburb
• supporting an active, healthy neighbourhood: Creating routes that encourage walking, jogging, riding, and general outdoor activity, and strengthening links to recreation, shops, parks, schools, and transport.

Once completed, the Coolangatta Walking Network Plan study will inform future upgrades to improve safety, accessibility, and connectivity, via a list of projects for inclusion in the Active Transport Infrastructure Program.
