Bikeways & Bicycle Safety

As part of Mount Isa City Council's ongoing commitment to public facilities and safety, an extensive bikeway and footpath construction program is under way, aimed at linking all parts of the City with focal points such as the Central Business Directory and Schools.

 

Footpaths

The Mount Isa City Council allocates an extra 50 kilolitres of water per year to each household for the maintenance of the area between the kerb/concrete footpath and the property line by the owner/occupier of the adjacent property.

Before undertaking any works on a footpath an application must be lodged with Council.

It is strongly recommended that the location of Council underground services, such as water, sewer and stormwater be determined and a Dial Before You Dig search (dial 1100) is conducted for other underground services prior to commencing.

Any damage to these services is the responsibility of property owner/occupier.

Maintenance of long grass, the surface of the path area and trees on the footpath are the responsibility of the owner/ occupier of the property.

 

Signs

Council's Maintenance Section is responsible for the replacement and repairing of signage throughout the city.
