Walking and biking are some of the most environmentally- friendly ways to explore and travel your area and pathways have been identified as a key priority for our community during the recent community scorecard.

Cassowary Coast Regional Council is seeking feedback on a proposed plan to install a new shared path along the Wongaling Beach forefront.

Division Three Councillor Trudy Tschui said that the project proposes to construct a new shared path, approximately 534 metres long, along Banfield Parade.

“The project, once delivered, will connect existing pathway infrastructure to improve connectivity and to help encourage residents and visitors to enjoy our natural areas and explore Mission Beach by wheels or on foot.

“Our environment has been a key factor during planning and as part of the planning process, Council completed environmental surveys to inform the project design and help ensure environmental impacts are minimised as much as possible."

Cr Tschui said that the proposed plan incorporates the existing trees and proposes to undertake only minor vegetation trimming to allow for construction activities to occur.

The project is currently unfunded for construction and Council will seek opportunities for funding once detailed design is complete.

Have your say and provide feedback on the proposed plan. Interested parties can have their say to Council by visiting www.yoursay.cassowarycoast.qld.gov.au/banfield-parade-pathway or by calling 1300 763 903. Feedback is open until Friday 11 November 2022.
