About the Project


We're improving footpath safety on Gulf Harbour Drive to provide a safe, convenient and well-connected walking option in your community.

This is part of our Footpaths Programme which commits to encourage safe walking and cycling in your neighbourhood.

The changes we’re making


  • Installing a new footpath and kerbs on the northern side of Gulf Harbour Drive from outside property #8 to the corner of Gulf Harbour Drive and Astrolabe Place.
  • Installing a new pram crossing with yellow tactile pavers at the crossing points of Gulf Harbour Drive and Astrolabe Place. Tactile pavers are yellow guidance markers that help vision-impaired people cross the road.
  • Paint no stopping at all times (broken yellow lines) extending to outside the property #1 Astrolabe Place, to clear access and help with visibility for motorists.
  • Upgrade the catchpit outside property #2 Astrolabe Place, to make cycle cycle-friendly.

Benefits to your community

  • Footpaths make it safer for the community by separating motorists and traffic from people on foot. Widening the footpath gives more room for people to wait to cross.
  • Well-maintained footpaths are safer for people who walk and ride their bikes and scooters, reducing the risk of being hurt or injured.
  • More footpaths make it easier and stress-free for the community to move around the neighbourhood, offering better connections to schools, parks, public transport and other local amenities.
  • Pram crossings make it safer and more convenient for people pushing prams or strollers to crossroads. It helps ensure those with mobility needs can navigate crossing more easily.
  • Walking and cycling are good for the environment and good for your health. It helps reduce reliance on cards for local trips, decreasing traffic congestion and reducing our carbon emissions.

What happens next

We will install these changes by August/ September 2025.

Any change to the plan will be updated on this page.

We will be in touch with the local residents and businesses prior to any construction taking place.
