Motorway Upgrade

 

 
  The Sunshine Coast community has been invited to have its say on planning for the Sunshine Motorway/Emu Mountain Road between Pacific Paradise and Noosa Heads.

This is an important opportunity for Coast cyclists to make their presence known. Our aim is for the upgraded road to include both on- and off-road cycle facilities and well-engineered transition (crossing, entry, exit, roundabouts) points.

Registration of interest by as many INDIVIDUALS as possible will have maximum impact. Cyclists who list their affiliation to a Club or Organization will be lumped in together as one registrant.

A registration form and instructions can be found here.

The home page for the Motorway Planning Study is here.

The Suncoast Cycling Alliance is making great progress with the local Council and with the Gympie office of Main Roads. Wide interest in this Community Consultation will bolster our case for better Coastwide cycling facilities. This is an extract from a Ministerial Press Release with the venues of the project displays. Make yourself known at a staffed display!

The proposed option can be viewed at the following locations between July 21 and August 8.

Staffed displays:

Coolum Community Centre, Park Street, Coolum (meeting room) - Tuesday July 29 (12.30pm to 4.30pm) and Saturday August 2 (9am to 1pm)

Unstaffed displays:

Coolum Beach Library, Park Street, Coolum - Monday July 21 to Friday August 8
Sunshine Coast Regional Council (Tewantin office), 9 Pelican Street, Tewantin - Monday July 21 to Friday August 8.
