PLANNING is now well underway for a $7 million upgrade to the Landsborough–Maleny and Maleny–Montville Roads intersection at Balmoral Ridge, prioritised by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) and Glass House MP Andrew Powell.
The project forms part of Mr Powell’s 2024 election promise to improve safety at the busy junction.
“Right now, the focus is on gathering the facts, conducting survey works and preliminary investigations to understand the site and what’s needed. It’s an important first step to ensure future works are well informed and deliver the best possible outcome for our community,” Mr Powell said.
He said upgrades to the intersection were long overdue, and while it was still too early to know exactly what the final design would look like, TMR and the MP were committed to engaging stakeholders and the community as planning progressed.
“I want to assure you that myself and TMR are committed to engaging relevant stakeholders and community members in due course, as planning progresses,” he said.
“I’m really looking forward to working with the community to deliver these upgrades, and I’ll be sure to share any updates as soon as they become available. If you’re interested, you can also subscribe to project updates through the project website,” Mr Powell added.
