Prioritising the network

Priority route maps supplement the Queensland Principal Cycle Network ('the network') and show the delivery priority assigned to principal routes in each local government area.

The indicative delivery priority assigned reflects factors such as safety, demand, land use and network connectivity data, along with planning, feasibility and improvement opportunities.

In a Priority Route Map, each principal route is classified as either:

• Priority A — for delivery in the next 10 years
• Priority B — for delivery in the next 10 to 15 years
• Priority C — for delivery in the next 15 to 20 years
• Priority D — for delivery in the next 20 years or more
• Existing — routes that the road authority has reported as having a suitable existing facility, but which we have not verified and cannot confirm the existence of bike riding infrastructure on ground.

Where bike riding infrastructure exists on a principal route, but the route is prioritised, this indicates the road authority may make improvements such as an upgrade of the existing infrastructure or filling missing links.

Delivery priorities are not assigned to tourism routes or future principal routes.

Priority route maps guide state and local government investment to deliver the network. We also use the maps to inform assessment of Active Transport Grants Program applications.
