  • provide improved connections and accessibility to more transport options on the northern Gold Coast
  • reduce travel time between Brisbane and the Gold Coast by reducing the number of local trips on the M1
  • increase safety on the M1 by reducing congestion and potential queuing on the M1
  • provide more reliable travel times between Brisbane and the Gold Coast

Funding

The Australian Government has committed $15.25 million to this project.
