Used daily by residents and visitors, Mount Mee Road is a key link between D’Aguilar and Dayboro. This project will see the installation of a new shared pathway and an elevated footbridge. This will encourage active transport and improve access to the Dayboro Town Centre.
The shared pathway and elevated footbridge have been designed to support:
- pedestrians
- cyclists
- people using mobility aids.
About the project
This project addresses community concerns about the safety and condition of the informal path under the Carl Ihm Bridge. It also responds to requests for more pathways in the area.
A new elevated footbridge over Terrors Creek will replace the narrow, flood-prone underpass. Lighting will also be installed to support safe use from dusk until dawn.
A new 2.5 metre-wide shared pathway will connect to the existing path near the Dayboro War Memorial Grounds (Showgrounds) and through to Fingerboard Road.
Council designed this infrastructure to minimise impacts on local flora, wildlife, and waterways. This will preserve the beauty and biodiversity of the area.
This project is proudly funded by the Australian Government’s Active Transport Fund Program and a contribution from the Queensland Government.
Construction and impacts
Council expects construction to begin in early to mid-2026. Temporary changes to access may be needed, and some noise and dust may occur. Council will work to reduce impacts and keep residents informed.
Tree removal and offset planting
Every effort has been made to protect the surrounding vegetation. Council will need to remove 7 trees to make way for the new footbridge and pathway. These include 4 non-native and 3 native trees.
To offset this and protect local biodiversity, 25 native trees will be planted along Mount Samson Road near Mervyn Kenman Park.
