Footpaths and cycleways

Council has an ongoing program of planned maintenance. We only replace a footpath or cycleway after assessing a site for safety and condition.

Council looks after more than 100 km of off-road shared paths in the Tweed.

Shared paths are for both pedestrians and cyclists. When riding, please slow down when approaching children, older people and dogs.

Find out where to ride and walk in the Tweed and check out the Northern Rivers Rail Trail and Uki Mountain Bike Park.

Tweed Pedestrian and Bike Plan

The Tweed Pedestrian and Bike Plan(PDF, 39MB) outlines our commitment to continuously enhancing the pedestrian and bike network across the Tweed.

Our vision is to create a safe, connected network that is accessible to all, enabling everyone to enjoy walking and cycling throughout the Tweed.

The plan features a 10-year action plan dedicated to delivering essential pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. By promoting walking and cycling as the preferred modes of transport, we aim to increase physical activity, enhance enjoyment and provide a sustainable transport option for the present and future.

A Multi Criteria Assessment prioritisation tool is integrated into the plan, empowering Council officers to evaluate new community requests and address concerns related to the pedestrian and cycling network. This ensures that valuable community feedback continues to shape our priorities.
