Southern Link Road corridor

Southern Link Road is progressing in three stages following the release of the Revised Preferred Options report (PDF, 4.98 MB) in May 2024. 

Read the latest community update (PDF, 633.4 KB) to find out more. 

• 7.5km of dual carriageway with a wide median (two lanes in each direction)
• 80km/h speed limit
• new bridges over Ropes Creek and Reedy Creek
• provision for pedestrian and cyclist paths
• seven new intersections and two intersection upgrades with traffic lights.

The project is being developed in stages starting West to East:

• Stage 1A: Mamre Road to Compass Drive – Final business case is planned to be completed by the end of 2025
• Stage 1B: Compass Drive to Old Wallgrove Road – Final business case is planned to be completed by the end of 2025
• Stage 2: Old Wallgrove Road through to Wallgrove Road – Corridor preservation is in progress. We are working with Council on rezoning the land for the road corridor. Council will be the rezoning authority.

Feedback was invited in August – September 2022 to assist us with planning this corridor to achieve the best possible outcome that considers future development and transport needs in the area.

For more information please see the August 2022 Community update (PDF, 12.8Mb)

Transport held an online community information session on Thursday 1 September 2022 via Microsoft Teams to present information on the project and to answer questions from the community and stakeholders about the preferred option that were posted during the session.

Thank you to those who attended the session that ran for nearly 40 minutes. Watch a recording of the session below.
