Road upgrades get going

Local roadworks have shifted up a gear in 2026, with several major projects rolling out across Division 9.

Works to widen and resurface Mona Drive in Jimboomba have recently begun.

The project is jointly funded by Logan City Council and the Queensland Government’s Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme (TIDS).

The upgrade will be delivered in 4 consecutive stages, with completion expected by late July.

Division 9 Councillor and Deputy Mayor Scott Bannan says Council is committed to funding and delivering common sense upgrades on local streets like Mona Drive.

‘People just want decent roads that drive better, look better and make life easier for everyone who uses them,’ Cr Bannan says.

‘Roadworks are always a bit of a pain, but if local drivers work with us and have a bit of patience, the end result is a smoother way to get from A to B,’ he says.

Significant works are also scheduled to upgrade the kerbing and stormwater drainage on Bell, Ann and Queen Streets in Jimboomba, as the nearby Mount Lindesay Highway works approach completion.

Meanwhile, Council is also progressing important upgrades through its Gravel Road and Shoulder Sealing (GRASS) program.

This includes recently reconstructing 550 metres of road shoulder and improving the storm water drainage along Whitman Road in Cedar Vale.

The wider sealed surface is designed to improve the safety of all road users.

More than 640 tonnes of spoil was removed and nearly 500 tonnes of gravel was placed as part of the project, forming the base for the new bitumen seal.

GRASS upgrades have also recently been completed on Heron Street, Quail Street and Round Ridge Road.
