Somerset Regional Council will commission surveyors to help determine the best location for a recreation trail along Coominya Connection Road between West Road and the Brisbane Valley Highway.
“What we are looking at is a link trail between the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail and Seqwater’s Wivenhoe Hill Trail network,” Cr Bob Whalley said.
“A link trail has been earmarked in the BVRT strategic plan as a way of giving us a greater range of activities and options to attract trail users and to give BVRT riders access to the lakeside accommodation at Logans Complex campgrounds.
“We have already scouted this route without going on the Brisbane Valley Highway by using a mix of local roads and a track following a water intake line on a public road reserve – we know it can be done.”
The main challenge is getting trail users safely along a 2.5km section of Coominya Connection Road.
Council plans to survey this section of road reserve to identify the potential for an off-road track following the road.
