Royalties Road Package

Without safe, fit-for-purpose roads for our communities and industry, the Isaac region cannot continue to deliver billions in royalties for the state and national economies.

Many roads across our region need complete upgrades, which will cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

The pressing issues facing the region's roads are that many were not built to accommodate the current volume and size of vehicles.

Council looks after 4,500 kilometres of road and repairs start at more than $2 million, there is no way to keep up with the demands on the road network, that is why more funding is needed.

While Council allocates 60% of its budget to road repairs, a consistent injection of state funds to maintain our roads is needed.

There are sections of roads that are in a critical state and need urgent attention to become fit-for-purpose.

Our Royalties Road Package is ready to roll and will help restore the confidence we need.

Our call for action is clear: the future of the Isaac region's roads — and its significant contributions to the state's economy — depends on decisive and committed investment from all political parties.

Critical road priorities include:

$65 million to widen and strengthen 32km of Golden Mile Road.
$241 million to widen and strengthen 71km of Dysart Middlemount Road
$135 million to pave, repair, and strengthen 69km of Peak Downs Mine Road and Saraji Road.
$102 million to widen and strengthen 30km on Peak Downs Highway between Clermont and Moranbah.
$25 million to widen and strengthen 16km of Moranbah Access Road.
$10 million to widen and strengthen 2.8km of Dysart Bypass Road.
$12 million to widen and strengthen 3.5km of Tieri Road.
