Toll roads
The Department of Transport and Main Roads is the agency responsible for administering the policy and legislative framework for toll roads in Queensland, under the provisions of the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994.
To manage Queensland’s significant growth, new toll roads have opened, providing new road capacity to meet future demand. Further tollway projects have been approved and are at different stages of development.
In 2009, Queensland’s toll roads made the transition to free-flow (electronic) tolling providing open motorway environments with no need to stop and pay the toll. This change is another response to the south-east Queensland’s rapidly growing population.
Toll road operators
Declared toll roads in Queensland are the Gateway and Logan Motorways, operated by Queensland Motorways, the Clem Jones Tunnel (CLEM7), operated by Rivercity Motorways, and the Go Between Bridge, operated by Brisbane City Council.
Other tollway projects have been approved for the AirportLink, to be operated by BrisConnections and Legacy Way (Northern Link Tunnel), to be operated by Brisbane City Council.
The State holds the perpetual lease over toll road land. The department, on behalf of the State, sub-leases toll road land to operators or local government.
