The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) is planning for a new transport corridor west of the Bruce Highway in the North Brisbane and Moreton Bay regions, between Beerburrum and Bald Hills.

With more people expected to be calling the region home, a proactive approach is required to prepare for future transport needs. The future Moreton Motorway will reduce travel time, connect established and emerging communities, and support employment growth and housing supply.

Early planning and community consultation for the approximately 50-kilometre corridor is progressing in four stages and will identify land that needs to be set aside and protected for the future motorway.

Early planning for Stage 1 and Stage 2 is complete, and 22 kilometres of the corridor from Moodlu to Narangba is protected for the future Moreton Motorway.

Early planning for Stage 3 between Narangba and Bald Hills is ongoing and early feedback on the study area continues to be invited.

Early planning for Stage 4 between Beerburrum and Moodlu is ongoing. Feedback was sought on possible corridor options from 30 November 2023 to 9 February 2024. As a result of community feedback, new investigations into routes further west of the Elimbah township are underway and are expected to be completed by early 2025.

Timeframes for more detailed planning, design and construction are not known at this time and will depend on government priorities and future funding commitments.
