Next Stage of Home Hill Be-Active Trail Underway

Published on 25 August 2025

Burdekin Shire Council is pleased to announce that construction of Stage 5 of the Home Hill Be-Active Trail is now well underway.

This stage will see the installation of a two-metre-wide concrete footpath along Seventeenth Street, extending between Seventh Avenue and Eleventh Avenue, Home Hill.

Once completed, works are expected to move directly into Stage 6 of the project, which will extend the pathway along Eleventh Avenue from Seventeenth Street.

Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort said the Be-Active Trail network is a long-term investment in health, wellbeing and livability for the Home Hill community.

“The Be-Active Trail is about creating safe, accessible spaces that encourage walking, cycling and active lifestyles for all ages,” Mayor Dalle Cort said.

“With nine stages planned in total, each step brings us closer to delivering a connected pathway network that links key parts of the community, supports recreation, and improves neighbourhood connectivity.”

When fully complete, the Be-Active Trail will provide Home Hill with a continuous pathway network designed to promote healthy living, improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists, and enhance the town’s overall amenity.
