Stapylton-Jacobs Well Road Upgrade

The department has released a planning layout for the Stapylton-Jacobs Well Road Upgrade.

Improvements being considered will improve connectivity and support the growth of the Gold Coast’s leading industrial precinct.

This upgrade will provide critical connections to the future stages of the Coomera Connector and will contribute to a safe, efficient and effective transport network to meet the current and future needs of the local community.

The planning will investigate options for additional lanes, intersection upgrades, and active transport improvements. The department is liaising with directly affected residents and businesses during the consultation phase and invites the community to have their say on the proposed planning layout.
