road impacts

saturday 16 may 2026

After consultation with Queensland Police and Redland City Council, and based on feedback from some businesses since last year, we are trialling a new model that includes:

  • Starting the races in a different order to reduce total impact times
  • Clearly defining when a road is closed, when a road will open, and when escorts are possible

Due to safety and the increased number of cyclists, Queensland Police requested a fixed time of road closure.

Dickson Way

We understand businesses need to trade and get staff to work especially along Dickson Way, and this is possible except when the road is formally closed as per the periods shown below. Please advise your staff and guests in advance. We have added a dedicated moto marshal between George Nothling Drive and Tramican Street to assist with exiting vehicles towards Dunwich and added marshals to properties to assist with guests.
