Queensland Beef Corridors

Advocacy_Web-Banner7

A road network that doesn't keep pace with the demands of the industry it serves.

Our agricultural sector consistently identify problems caused by the poor roads they are forced to use, including lost productivity, lost time, vehicle damage and delays, impacts to their supply chains both ways and the safety risks to the users of those roads.

We are calling on the government to establish a robust direct focus on cross regional council advocacy to direct taxpayer dollars north to upgrade our beef corridor road network.

The agricultural industry continues to keep Queensland moving during the COVID-19 pandemic and this has clearly demonstrated our regional resilience. However, this cannot be maintained without critical road infrastructure such as our beef roads. Our beef roads are equally as important and critical as any other state priority.

Together with seven other local councils our aim is to connect the dots.

  • Recognise the issues and solutions
  • Create a collectively agreed and formal 5-10 year beef road funding program that reflects a share in investment equivalent to the industry output
  • Collect data for future strategies
  • Completely seal beef roads and achieve consistency across heavy vehicle corridors
