   •   Requests for education and enforcement to support compliance
Vegetation, Drainage & Neighbourhood Character
   •   Strong preference to retain mature trees, including pandanus
   •   Desire to minimise visual and environmental impacts
   •   Concerns about stormwater runoff and drainage near driveways
   •   Noise concerns associated with overrun areas (described as rumble strips) and raised
       treatments and increased cyclist use
Design Alternatives & Route Considerations
   •   Some residents suggested relocating cycling infrastructure to David Low Way or adjusting
       pathway alignment (including the western side).
   •   Requests for wider pathways (suitable for two cyclists side-by-side)
   •   Desire to extend pathway connections fully to the village
   •   CPTED issues associated with the boardwalk and path diversion at Lorikeet Park
Other Key Feedback
   •   Support for stormwater upgrades and road repairs
   •   Requests for consistent pathway connections rather than partial sections
   •   Mixed views on speed reductions, with stronger support where clearly linked to improved
       safety outcomes
   •   A small number of submissions expressing full objection to the project in addition to the
       petitions listed below
Pop Up Display Boards (Attachment 1)
The collated post it notes from the pop-up display boards and the typed summary notes is included
as Attachment 1 to the Report.

Customer Requests (Attachment 2)
During the engagement period, Council received 37 formal customer enquiries relating to the project.
These enquiries primarily concerned parking impacts, traffic displacement, proposed speed limit
changes, and requests to reconsider corridor alignment and are included at Attachment 2 to the
Report.

Petition (Attachment 3)
A petition – 'Residents Against Active Street' was formally tabled with Council which raised concerns
about parking loss, traffic congestion, and safety, and requested that the project be halted entirely,
requests for additional consultation and route options review. The petition is included at Attachment
3 to the report.

The petition was a catalyst for additional community consultation activities in recent weeks including
additional pop-up events, one on one meetings, preparation and distribution of additional project
materials and this report.

Community-led Proposed Adjustments (Attachment 4)
Received by the project team recently (19/02/2026), the submission includes a proposal for one-way
traffic (Oriole southbound, Lorikeet northbound), retention of most on-street parking, adjustments to
cyclist access, and potential residential parking permits. The submission is included at Attachment
4.

The proposal for one way traffic would require traffic modelling and design of traffic controls
