Fifth Avenue precinct Local Area Traffic Management - Coorparoo
Learn about Council's plans to upgrade Fifth Avenue precinct and surrounding streets to reduce rat-running.
Council is working to improve the safety of all road users in the Fifth Avenue precinct, Coorparoo.
This project is part of our Local Area Traffic Management program. It delivers improvements across Brisbane's local road precincts and suburbs to ensure safer and slower roads.
Following community engagement and review of recent traffic data, we will be installing:
- speed platforms on Fifth, Eighth and Ninth avenues
- a pedestrian refuge island and upgraded kerb and kerb ramps on Ninth Avenue at St Leonards Street
- a pedestrian refuge island and upgraded kerb and kerb ramps on Baragoola Street at Sixth Avenue
- a traffic island on Sixth Avenue near Baragoola Street
- line marking, including yellow 'no stopping' lines.
On-street parking will not be permitted where yellow ‘no stopping’ lines are in place to ensure safe sightlines and appropriate visibility at crossing points and intersections, and to ensure lanes are wide enough for traffic to safely pass.
Works will take place from early April to early May 2025, between 7am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, weather and site conditions permitting.
During construction, you may experience:
- increased noise, dust, vibration and vehicles
- changed traffic conditions, including footpath and lane closures, and reduced speed limits
- traffic controllers and signage onsite.
We would like to thank you for your patience while these works are undertaken.
