Consultation now open
Provide feedback by 5pm on Friday, 29 November 2024.
Overview
Project overview
Sunshine Coast Council is undertaking planning to improve the active transport network for walking and riding, connecting the communities of Currimundi, Dicky Beach, Moffat Beach, and Caloundra.
The Caloundra to Currimundi (C2C) Active Transport Corridor project aims to deliver a safe and comfortable route to significantly increase the number of people walking and riding in these communities. This will be achieved by creating an inclusive walking and riding outcome for people of all ages and abilities, including safety improvements for riders continuing on road.
The C2C Active Transport Corridor, which follows the Queensland Government’s Principal Cycle Network (PCN), will provide valuable and safe active transport connections for people walking, riding and using micro-mobility.
The publicly available PCN Plan map published in 2016 shows the corridor alignment along Maltman Street and Buccleigh Street. After State Government consultation in 2022, the draft PCN map has been updated to move the alignment to George Street and Tooway Parade. The Active Transport route will enable people of all ages and abilities to safely enjoy getting where they need to go. The corridor will help create calmer streets, particularly around schools, key accesses and assembly points, and integrate effectively with surrounding open space areas. Where possible, Council will aim to maintain the existing supply of car parking within the project area.
This project is funded for design and construction by the South East Queensland (SEQ) Liveability Fund.
Project benefits
Artist impression
This artist impression aims to illustrate an example of active transport infrastructure in Bowman Road, Caloundra. The example demonstrates an inclusive walking and riding outcome for people of all ages and abilities, including safety improvements for riders continuing on road.
Community engagement
Between 4 November and 5pm 29 November 2024, we invite you to provide feedback via the online survey. Your input and feedback will assist us to:
- Better understand the issues and opportunities along the C2C corridor
- Understand the type of active transport infrastructure that is important to our community
- Ensure connectivity and accessibility measures are tailored to the needs of the communities along the C2C corridor
- Understand community preference relating to open spaces and landscaping along the C2C corridor.
Stakeholder and community engagement will play an important role in ensuring connectivity and accessibility measures are tailored to the needs of our community. You will also have the opportunity to provide feedback on open spaces and landscaping preferences as part of planning and design.

We want to better understand issues the issues faced by people walking and riding on pathways and roads and what opportunities exist, including your ideas about ways to improve existing infrastructure or new connections points that could be considered along the corridor.

Background
Sunshine Coast Council’s Corporate Plan 2024-2028 includes ‘Our Strong Community’ goal. This encourages a healthy and active community through planning and delivery of the transport network to support active transport modes (walking and cycling).
To align with strategic priorities, the project will also reference Council’s Active Transport Plan 2011-2031. This considers development in the region, including population growth, the emergence of personal mobility devices, and improved active transport standards and guidelines.
Next steps
Feedback gathered during Phase 1 will help guide and inform planning and design of the corridor and will ensure that we recognise and address any potential issues or concerns.
In April 2025 as part of phase 2 community engagement, we will share the outcomes from Phase 1 community engagement and present the corridor design to our community for feedback and commentary. Feedback received during Phase 2 will be used to finalise the corridor design.
Funding is required to progress other stages to design and construction. We will keep our community updated with information as it becomes available.
