Sidewalks and Active Transportation in Hubbards

After going through North West Community Council, The Hubbards area rate and boundary report (here) for sidewalks and active transportation was brought forward to Regional Council. It was a significant step forward (literally and figuratively!) for folks, highlighting where the and demand for safe modes of active transportation in Hubbards, while the communities of Queensland and Black Point did not show support. The proposed boundary reflects that.

At the time of the public engagement the area rate established by AO 2022-008 ADM was $0.033 per $100 of taxable property value.  I'm so pleased to share that the new area rate of $0.021 per $100 of taxable property was established by Regional Council on July 8, 2025, and this new, lower rate will extend to Hubbards.

There is more to come, but construction is expected to begin in 2028.

Many thanks to the Hubbards Streetscape Project (https://onehubbards.org/) for their  vision and commitment for a safe and healthy community.  This important work would not be possible without them.
