Project description

The Philip Street - Gladstone project involves widening of approximately 900 metres of Philip Street (also known as Gladstone-Benaraby Road) from two lanes to a four lane divided roadway. The project will also include:

 

- required transport infrastructure and access to the Gladstone Region Integrated Community Services Precinct;

 

- installation of east and westbound on-road bicycle and off-road pedestrian facilities;

 

- pavement drainage upgrades;

 

- new signalised intersection at the Philip Street and Reef Street intersection;

 

- improved street lighting; and

 

- acceleration lanes at Trinity Place and Hibiscus Avenue.

Benefits

This project will provide necessary connections to realise the benefits of the Australian Government-funded Integrated Health Services Precinct - Stage 1 Philip Street Community project, which will assist in combining community and commercial facilities for the benefit of residents.

Funding

The Australian Government has fully committed up to $22.4 million towards the project.
