PEREGIAN BEACH ACTIVE STREET - STAGE 1 PROGRESS UPDATE AND NEXT STEPS (Deferred from the General Committee Meeting dated 16 March 2026) · Report

ORDINARY MEETING                                                                  19 MARCH 2026


Together, these upgrades will deliver a safer, greener and more attractive active transport
experience for users.

Grant Funding Opportunity

The project's high priority in the State funded corridor study, along with the community concerns
raised regarding speeding and pedestrian safety along and around Lorikeet Drive, made it an
excellent candidate for external funding. The project is 100% Grant funded through the South East
Queensland Liveability Fund and the Active Transport Fund.

The SEQ Liveability fund is Supporting Local Government projects that create liveable, creative,
sustainable and healthy communities. Projects funded will be of a regional or sub-regional scale
that leave a legacy in the community. The funding through the SEQ Liveability grant covers design
and construction works.

The Active Transport Fund (ATF), provides funding for the design and construction of new or
existing bicycle and walking pathways to encourage the use of active transport.
The focus areas for the program are:
   •   road safety
   •   reducing transport emissions
   •   active and liveable communities
The ATF grant funding for this project is specific to construction only.
