Cairns Southern Access Cycleway
While referred to as the Cairns Southern Access Cycleway in early documentation, that name is rarely used. It was later officially named ‘The Luke Azzopardi Cycleway’ running from Riverstone Road, Gordonvale to Ruth Street, Woree.
Mr Azzopardi was a Gordonvale resident who was well-respected and made significant contributions to sport and the community.
The new cycleway provides safer connections to several schools, businesses and shopping precincts south of Cairns.
