Far North Queensland District
From Cape York to Cairns the Queensland Government is continuing to deliver better connections and infrastructure projects for the Far North region.
A total of $1.599b of works has been committed in the Far North District over the next four years in the latest Queensland Transport and Roads Investment Program (2022-23 to 2025-26).
We’re committed to investing in better connections that keep the Far North moving, linking you to all the area has to offer and getting you home, or where you need to go, sooner and safer.
Delivering for Cairns
Some of the projects being delivered include:
Bruce Highway, Cairns Southern Access Corridor, Edmonton to Gordonvale
This project will deliver significant safety improvements along this section of the Bruce Highway, which is the busiest 2-lane section of the Bruce Highway between Brisbane and Cairns.
Under the 15-year, $13 billion Bruce Highway Upgrade Program, the department is continuing to invest in safety, flood resilience and capacity upgrades along the Bruce Highway between Brisbane and Cairns.
Yorkeys Knob Boat Ramp
The new boat ramp and associated on-land facilities will be constructed on vacant state-owned land and seabed to the west of Yorkeys Knob Boating Club marina and to the north of Half Moon Bay Golf Club, with an access road on state land between the 2 clubs.
This new facility will:
- improve safety and reduce congestion at the existing Yorkeys Knob boat ramp
- reduce wait times for boaties on the north side of the Cairns CBD, for both launching and retrieving
- complement the recent upgrade to the Trinity Park/Bluewater boat ramp.
Cape York Region Package Stage 2
The Cape York Region Package Stage 2 is a program of works to deliver infrastructure upgrades on the Cape York Peninsula between 2019-2020 and 2023-2024. Cape York Region Package Stage 2 will seal about 55km of the Peninsula Developmental Road as well as:
- $190 million to progressively seal priority sections of the Peninsula Developmental Road
- $47.5 million to progressively seal priority sections of community access roads
Cairns Southern Access Cycleway
The Cairns Southern Access Cycleway will provide an essential missing link connecting the southern suburbs to the city. This important infrastructure provides a dedicated and safe link for all bike riders including school children between Edmonton, Mount Sheridan, White Rock and Woree.
The new cycleway provides safer connections to several schools, businesses, and shopping precincts south of Cairns.
As well as building safer roads, this program of works supports nearly 1,440 regional jobs as well.
