Located one hour from Brisbane, Gold Coast and Ipswich and one of Australia’s largest greenfield developments, the project includes the construction of a bridge over rail being delivered by ARTC, and installation of a bebo archway structure.

When the project is complete, it will improve access to the 4,000-hectare Flinders Lakes development which will provide more than 20,000 houses, as well as significant educational and health facilities, along with recreation and landscaping for residents in this growing community.

3.9 kilometres of new road and 52,000m² of asphalt pavement works

Drainage works including installation of stormwater, sewer and electrical and communications infrastructure and 38 kilometres of underground conduits
