Long before cycle lanes and shared paths transformed its character, Duffield Rd served a simpler purpose: connecting the residential heart of Margate to the bayside amenities that define the Redcliffe Peninsula. In its earlier incarnation, this street was purely a vehicle corridor, linking Margate Parade to Victoria Avenue through a quiet suburban grid. That utilitarian function has evolved considerably in recent years, as Duffield Road has embraced a new identity as part of Moreton Bay Regional Council’s active transport network.
The transformation arrived with infrastructure upgrades that brought on-road cycle lanes to the street, signalling a shift in how residents and visitors navigate the suburb. Where cars once dominated, cyclists and pedestrians now share the space, reflecting changing priorities around mobility and lifestyle. The upgrades represent more than just painted lines on asphalt—they mark Duffield Road’s transition from a purely car-dependent connector to a multi-modal thoroughfare that serves the diverse needs of a modern coastal community.
Today, Duffield Road stands as a microcosm of Margate’s evolution. Its 265 properties—ranging from classic Queenslanders to contemporary townhouses—house families who have chosen to put down roots in this bayside suburb, with three-quarters of residents owning their homes. The street’s blend of established dwellings and newer developments tells the story of a suburb that honours its past whilst embracing the future.
