Cairns cycling and walking circuit
To increase opportunities for the community to participate in sport and recreation activities, Council proposes to provide approximately 20km of connected shared path circuits within central Cairns.
As identified in the Cairns Pedestrian Movement and Cycle Travel Strategy, the project aims to encourage walking and cycling by providing a safe off-road circuit from the Esplanade lagoon along the foreshore to the Botanic Gardens and Cairns Central Swamp, along scenic waterways including Lily Creek and Saltwater Creek and past some regional sporting centres. This would involve upgrading and providing linkages between existing shared paths.
