Fifth Avenue Precinct, Coorparoo
Consultation has concluded
Update November 2021
Consultation has now closed. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback. Council will now consider the feedback received, and provide an update to the community in early 2022.
Brisbane City Council is pleased to announce that in response to local community concerns and suggestions about motorist and pedestrian safety throughout the Fifth Avenue Precinct in Coorparoo, funding was allocated in Council’s 2021-22 budget to undertake planning, community consultation and design of traffic management throughout the precinct.
Council’s Local Area Traffic Management (LATM) team has developed some options and potential traffic management measures (see below) to discourage the use of local streets by through traffic throughout the precinct and aims to improve access, safety and connectivity for all road users.
Have your say
You can provide your feedback on the traffic management options by:
- completing the online survey and drop-a-pin map below
- calling 1800 669 416 (during business hours)
- emailing the project team
We welcome any additional feedback or suggestions you may have about traffic related concerns throughout the precinct.
The consultation period will close at midnight on Friday 19 November 2021.
Your feedback is important and will help us to understand community support for traffic management in the precinct and guide any future design investigations.
