Major road investment is seeing a transformation of the network in Queenland, Australia. Further investment is waiting in the wings and the recent Connecting SEQ 2031 Transport Plan from 880 The State Government Of Queensland will see the construction of a primary arterial road linking North Lakes and Caboolture. Various routes have been outlined in the plan to connect Caboolture-Bribie Island Rd and the North South Urban Arterial road. One of these routes crosses the Caboolture River connecting with Caboolture-Bribie Rd while another lies near or passes through the Northeast Business Park. Other projects included in Connecting SEQ 2031 include upgrades of Bellmere and Caboolture River roads, the Bruce Highway at Caboolture-Maroochydore Rd as well as the Straphine-Joyner, Straphine-Burpengary-multi modal and Straphine-Albany Creek-multi modal routes. The transport plan has also outlined projects to investigate feasibility of the Petrie-Kallangur bypass. Meanwhile in Victoria State plans are in hand for an upgrade of the historic Great Ocean Road. This road was constructed prior to WWII largely by hand to help alleviate unemployment and also to connect isolated areas of the state and is a route of historic importance in Victoria, as well as being an important road for the tourism trade. Plans are being considered to improve the 243km Great Ocean Road, which winds along the country’s south eastern coastline. Victoria's highway department 5155 VicRoads is expected to vote in support of the project.
