Council recognises that creating an accessible city is a key factor in improving the lives of residents and visitors.

Council is committed to working with our community in providing accessible places and a range of options for travelling across the Sunshine Coast.

Mobility mapping Sunshine Coast

Council partnered with Briometrix to undertake the mobility mapping project which is focused on inclusivity and mobility, changing the way our community travels across popular areas of the Sunshine Coast.  

Using modern mapping technology, wheelchairs were turned into mapping tools with specially trained ‘pilots’ and devices installed to track routes from Coolum to Caloundra. 

This project has become a nationally recognised award winning project, for connecting community through infrastructure.

The areas mapped to date are:

  • Alexandra Headland
  • Beerwah
  • Birtinya (Sunshine Coast University Hospital and Kawana Stadium)
  • Buddina
  • Caloundra
  • Coolum
  • Cotton Tree
  • Currimundi
  • Kawana
  • Maleny
  • Maroochydore
  • Montville
  • Mooloolaba
  • Nambour.

The mobility maps identify footpaths, shared pathways, and trails accessible for people of all abilities, from mums and dads with toddlers in tow to the elderly with walkers, people using mobility aids, and anyone with wheels on pathways.

The paths are graded by the effort required to travel the pathway by an average wheelchair pilot.
*Effort is based on the slope of the path, the surface condition, and the cross slope of the footpath.

Open the Sunshine Coast Mobility Map to find your best path, given your needs and ability.

*Effort ratings are a guide and may vary depending on the physical condition of the wheelchair pilot, and any power assistance available.

Access the council User Guide. For web-based Briometrix Mobility Maps, access the User Guide.

The paths were surveyed by local wheelchair pilots and some help from Spinal Life.  Path conditions may change without notice.

Watch the video to see how the pilots used innovative technology to collect information about our footpaths, public transport and parking, amenities, boardwalks, beach accesses and more.

Council has joined other local governments and transport authorities across Australia including Brisbane, Townsville, Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, Wollongong, Sydney, Melbourne and Public Transport Victoria in deploying Briometrix Mobility Maps.
