In October 2023, I launched a community campaign to complete the Indooroopilly bikeway. This would involve separated bike lanes linking the Indooroopilly Riverwalk with the St Lucia Esplanade Bikeway via Lambert Rd.
We had a great response, with 200+ community members emailing the decision makers and two giant community rides in support of the idea.
In July 2024, we got a huge win when the State Government committed $700,000 for active transport design (including a separated cycleway) on Lambert Rd, from Railway Ave to Carrawa St Park. Although it’s disappointing the LNP Council didn’t get on board, the funding is a huge win for getting our kids to school safely and getting more cars off the road.

Why we need a bikeway:
This route is one of the biggest cycling “black holes” on the westside. Lambert Rd is a busy road that provides access to a lot of essential services. Completing the Indooroopilly bikeway would make it easy to ride to:
- UQ
- Schools around Lambert Rd including Indooroopilly ISHS, Brigidine College, Holy Family and St Peters Lutheran College
- Indooroopilly train station and Indooroopilly Shopping Centre
- Fig Tree Pocket and Ambrose Treacy College
Importantly, a bikeway would mean the 5,600 students and their families at the four schools around Lambert Rd would have the option to ride, helping to reduce the drop-off and pick-up peak hour traffic. I started campaigning for the bikeway as a result of my Lambert Rd School Transport Survey.
