Women and girls across Brisbane’s CBD and southside, including Tarragindi, are being invited to take part in a cycling survey examining riding habits, safety concerns, and access to local bikeways, with responses open until March 29.
Survey Focuses On Safety And Participation In Tarragindi
The survey is open to women and girls who ride regularly, occasionally, would like to ride, or do not currently ride. It is designed to gather insights into how people travel by bike and what factors influence their decisions.
Participants are asked about their current riding patterns and where they would prefer to travel by bike. Options include work, school, shops, public transport stations, parks, recreation areas, and visits to friends or family.
The survey also asks respondents to rate how safe they feel riding in their local area. It outlines common barriers such as unsafe roads, intersections and crossings, limited protected bike lanes, missing links between routes, poor lighting, and lack of facilities including bike parking.
Respondents are encouraged to identify specific streets, intersections or paths where safety concerns or missing connections affect their ability to ride. The survey also asks participants to nominate one location that could be improved to make riding safer.
Tarragindi Cycling Network And Key Routes
Tarragindi is connected to a broader southside cycling network that supports both commuting and recreational riding. A key route is Veloway 1 (V1), a separated cycleway linking the area with the Brisbane CBD while allowing riders to avoid general traffic.
Stage E of the Veloway 1 upgrade improved connectivity, including bridge works at Marshall Road, Sterculia Avenue and Bapaume Road. The route is intended to support safer travel and encourage active transport use.
The Tarragindi Bikeway starts near Evans Road and Orange Grove Road and connects with Toohey Forest and the V1. Toohey Forest Park provides additional off-road trails through bushland terrain used for mountain biking.
Nearby facilities include the Glindemann Park BMX and pump track in Holland Park. A 7.1-kilometre circuit along the Warick Creek and Bulimba Creek bikeways offers an option for both commuting and leisure riding.
Next Steps For Cycling Insights
The survey is aimed at building a clearer understanding of how women and girls experience cycling across Brisbane’s southside, including Tarragindi. It asks participants to identify locations where infrastructure and conditions affect their riding decisions.
Tarragindi’s cycling network provides access to both commuter routes and recreational trails, while the survey seeks to identify where improvements may support increased participation.
