Moreton Bay Regional Council is investing $130,000 to light up a key section of the Moreton Bay Cycleway at Deception Bay.

Division 4 councillor Julie Greer said 30 light poles had been erected along Esplanade South, between Delmar Street and Seaview Parade, as part of the Deception Bay Foreshore Master Plan.

“The lighting of the  Esplanade South section of the Moreton Bay Cycleway will not only improve safety
but also opens up new exercise opportunities for residents who may not have the opportunity to use it during daylight hours,” Cr Greer.

“We want the Moreton Bay region to be the healthiest in South East Queensland and new infrastructure like this makes it even easier to get on your bike and get fit, particularly in the evening when it’s cooler.”

“It’s a good investment in the health of our growing community.”

Cr Greer said the lighting project was expected to be completed by late January, weather permitting.
