Mark Boothman MP Blog - 2016 - Transport

Today's Question On Notice is to the Minister Main Roads. Residents of the Albert Electorate are continuing to express their frustration at extensive traffic congestion on the western side of the M1 Motorway at Exit 57 Oxenford.

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.

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

Last night in Parliament I raised a number of issues that are affecting our Albert Electorate like car rego increases and public transport needs, just to name a couple. Please have a read and if you have any questions or concerns please contact me

Busy day in the electorate inspecting new safety equipment being installed on Beaudesert Beenleigh Road. It is great to see the work beginning so soon after the funding announcement. I have for some time spoken out on behalf of residents about the need to improve safety and conditions for this stretch of road. Residents can expect some delays when traveling along Beaudesert Beenleigh Road during daylight hours whilst safety works are in progress.
