Project overview

We are constructing a shared path along Cinderella Drive from Dennis Road to Springwood Road in Springwood.

The Cinderella Road Shared Path Upgrade is proudly supported by the Queensland Government’s Cycle Network Local Government Grants Program. It provides a new link in our shared path network at Springwood that delivers greater connectivity to existing active travel infrastructure, public transport, shops and Springwood Park.

Shared paths encourage healthy, sustainable active travel. By extending and improving our off-road connections we are building a healthier and greener city. Off-road infrastructure makes it safer, easier and more desirable for people to use paths for recreation or commuting.

The project will be delivered in conjunction with the nearby Dennis Road Intersections Upgrade, at Cinderella Drive, Barbaralla Drive and Onak Crescent.

Project features

The project will deliver:

• a new 1.22 kilometre concrete shared path ranging in width between 2 metres and 3 metres, between Springwood Road and Dennis Road
• an approximately 1050 metre section of shared path along the southern side of Cinderella Drive
• an approximately 170 metre section of shared path on the northern side of Cinderella Drive, between Collene Grove and Thornhill Street
• improved kerb ramps to provide smoother access between the road and path 
• a safer crossing point with an upgrade to an island refuge at the intersection of Jeanette Avenue 
• driveway reconstructions (where required)
• updated signage and line marking.

Project benefits

The shared path will deliver a range of benefits including:

• improved access to walking, running and bike riding opportunities
• a safer, easier to access and more desirable path for recreation or commuting
• more opportunities for car-free journeys across South East Queensland by improving access to public transport.

Project timings

Construction is scheduled to start in the first half of 2024 and expected to finish by late 2024, subject to weather and construction conditions.

We will communicate with residents, businesses, and key stakeholders before works commence with further details including timing and what you can expect.

Project impacts

We will make every effort to minimise disruption, however, some temporary construction impacts can be expected.

Temporary impacts will include:

• changed traffic conditions (including reduced speed limits, road or lane closures and detours)
• disruption to driveway access (affected residents will be notified)
• loss of street parking 
• footpath closures and bus stop relocations (all detours and changes will be signed)
• temporary water, sewerage and power disruptions
• increased noise, dust, and vibration.

Frequently asked questions

How many trees will be removed and why?

Unfortunately, we need to remove numerous trees within the road reserve as part of the path upgrade. 

This is due to:

• how close the trees are to each other and the street
• reduced sightlines for road and path users
• constraints related to construction activities required to build the new path 
• damage to the new path from tree roots.  

Will the trees be replaced and if so, how?

We understand how much the community values trees in our neighbourhoods. Trees provide multiple benefits including shading and cooling, habitat for wildlife and improved visual amenity and increased property values. 

Maintaining natural assets within infrastructure corridors is important, and our project teams seek to minimise tree removal as much as possible. Trees are only taken out where all alternative options have been explored.

To ensure the values from trees are maintained where removal is necessary, appropriate substitute trees are planted in replacement. As part of this project, we’re aiming to provide four, 45-litre trees for each tree removed in line with Council’s Tree Management Policy. The new trees will be planted after construction is complete, as close to the original location as possible. In time, they will grow to become valued natural features and provide the benefits mentioned above.

What type of trees will be planted?

The tree species will be selected by our Parks branch once construction of the new path is complete.

How is the Cinderella Drive Shared Path and Dennis Road Intersections Upgrade project funded?

The Cinderella Drive Shared Path Upgrade is jointly funded by the Queensland Government’s Cycle Network Local Government Grants Program and Council’s Cycleway Infrastructure Program.
The Dennis Road Intersections Upgrade is funded under Council’s Major Intersections Upgrade program.

What happens if tree clearing affects my property?

Where we need to trim or remove vegetation on private property, we will contact residents directly.
