The City of Gold Coast is continuing with plans to expand the coastal Oceanway network through Mermaid Beach, even as debate continues over proposed traffic restrictions on Hedges Avenue. The City of Gold Coast is continuing with plans to expand the coastal Oceanway network through Mermaid Beach, even as debate continues over proposed traffic restrictions on Hedges Avenue. The project aims to improve safety and connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians by transforming sections of the beachfront corridor into a lower-speed, more pedestrian-friendly route.
Council says the Oceanway upgrade will form part of a broader active transport strategy linking coastal suburbs across the Gold Coast. The proposal includes reducing through-traffic on Hedges Avenue — often known as the city’s “Millionaire’s Row” — while upgrading pathways, road surfaces and public infrastructure. Supporters argue the changes will improve safety and encourage sustainable transport, while some residents have raised concerns about traffic access and congestion in nearby streets.
Tom Tate has previously described the project as a key step in improving movement and safety through the Mermaid Beach precinct, with further design details expected to be released later this year.
