Mark Boothman MP Blog - 2016 - Roads

Last night in Parliament, I spoke about the need for a second arterial road between Brisbane and the Gold Coast, The Inter-Regional Transport Corridor. Every time there is an accident on the M1 Motorway, the road network goes into meltdown.

Yesterday I spent the morning with Tim Nicholls discussing the Albert Electorate. High up on the list of priorities was Exit 49.

It may of seemed a simple task to have a 60kmh sign moved but in this case it was years in the making.

Great news for residents who regularly use Beaudesert-Beenleigh Road near Shaws Pocket. We have finally secured $958,000 in funding to "significantly improve the bend near Shaws Pocket at Rocky Creek" This will include raising the outer edge of the road to provide a turning bank to allow vehicles to manoeuvre through the curve more safely.
