LONG-SERVING Amity Point Community Club president Kevin Weule is urging council to install a footpath in the area to link the community's assets together.
Mr Weule, 76, said a path would provide greater wheelchair access, a safe space for children to ride their bikes and create opportunities to attract visitors.
He wanted it to stretch from the Amity Point boat ramp to the community club car park on Claytons Road.
Under his plan, it would pass places like the camping ground, cricket oval, skate park and toilets.
A council spokesman said a pathway had been listed for consideration but there was no guarantee it would be built until funding had been allocated.
"The proposed pathway has since been submitted to council's design and technical services team and included in council's future Asset Management planning for the 2021-22 financial year," he said.
Mr Weule said he wanted to see a path installed before Christmas to keep children safe.
"When the caravan park is full, all the kids get out on their new bikes and scooters," he said.
"There are trucks and 300 guests with cars and boats coming in and out of there and the kids are riding on the road.
"Just to see the them ride around on a two metre path would be a lot safer."
Mr Weule likened getting a path installed to winning the lotto, having spent about two years campaigning for the cause.
"There are so many people going over there," he said. "If you see the water taxi, they are coming in their droves.
"Where do those people go if we can't give them something?
"We could have stalls off the track. There is a whole range of things you could do."
Cr Peter Mitchell said he supported any improvements to active travel and pedestrian access in the Redlands.
"In principal, I support that but obviously the detail ... needs to be worked through the right systems," he said.
"I would be more than happy to facilitate a meeting with any applicants who have a serious proposal, to sit with council planners and walk through opportunities."
Mr Weule said a path would provide several community benefits and would come at only a small cost to council.
"Have you ever tried to push and pull a wheelchair through sand?," he said. "It is really difficult and rough as guts.
"There is a toilet in the caravan park but there is no path from off the road into the toilet.
"You can't use the toilets so I want to get some support for a path. Why not do something for the Amity people?"
A council spokesman said construction timeframes were dependent on things like design specification, costing and allocation of a capital budget against city wide infrastructure requests.
