Sunshine Coast Council has started a campaign to promote respectful behaviour on the region’s pathways.

The ‘Mind if We Share – One Path Many Ways’ initiative was launched in response to feedback from users.

The Sunshine Coast boasts more than 73km of Coastal Pathway, which is used by walkers, runners and bike and scooter riders.

Councillor David Law said the campaign would provide people with improved knowledge of pathway etiquette.

“Through engaging signage and community outreach efforts, the campaign aims to remind users to share the path courteously, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone,” he said.

“While the benefits of our pathways for physical and mental well-being are undeniable, it’s crucial to acknowledge them as shared public spaces.

“This is another example of how we’re connecting and engaging with our communities to build a better future for everyone.”

The council reminded users to be considerate of fellow users; keep left, whether you’re bike riding, walking with pets, scooting or using mobility aids; reduce speed and signal or alert others when approaching them; and to give way with a smile and share the path.

Councillor Law encouraged all users to take accountability for ensuring the pathways were safe, inclusive and fun locations for commuting, exercising and socialising.
