Brisbane City Council has developed a high-level, city-wide strategy to guide the future delivery of off-road cycling opportunities across Brisbane. The strategy will create more to see and do in a clean and green Brisbane and aims to provide safe, sustainable recreation opportunities that better protect our natural areas.

In 2019, Council engaged with key stakeholder groups and the broader community to share ideas about future off-road cycling opportunities across the city. Following a significant response from the community, Council analysed this information as part of planning the Draft Brisbane Off-Road Cycling Strategy.

The draft strategy identified potential locations for future off-road cycling facilities and opportunities within parks and bushland reserves. When Council plans for the use of areas within bushland reserves, Council prioritises nature conservation then considers potential outdoor recreation opportunities in these areas.

Council would like to thank the community for their comments and feedback on the Draft Brisbane Off-Road Cycling Strategy. Council has collated and used this feedback to prepare the final Brisbane Off-Road Cycling Strategy that provides an overview of how Council will deliver off-road cycling opportunities in the future.

Council is committed to building sustainable off-road cycling facilities for the future. The Brisbane Off-Road Cycling Strategy provides a high-level roadmap to guide future investment in the design and delivery of off-road cycling opportunities across Brisbane subject to further detailed design, budget and environmental assessment. The strategy identifies potential locations for off-road cycling opportunities that Council will consider developing in the short and long term, including existing shared-use trails and fire tracks. Council will provide updates about new facilities and future opportunities for community consultation on Council’s webpage.
