Main bikeways and paths

  • Gold Coast Oceanway — planned as a continuous 36 km coastal path from The Spit to Coolangatta; about two-thirds is built.
  • Pacific Motorway (M1) South upgrade — a new dedicated 10 km active transport path from Varsity Lakes to Elanora.
  • Coomera Connector — a 45 km corridor between the Logan Motorway and Nerang that will include an active transport path.

Secure bike parking
