Gold Coast-Springbrook Road, Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements reconstruction works
Gold Coast—Springbrook Road sustained a significant number of landslips, rock falls and tree falls during the South Queensland Severe Storms and Rainfall events in December 2023 and January 2024.
Reconstruction is expected to start in March 2026.
There are 28 sites to be restored:
20 sites on Gold Coast–Springbrook Road including 4 major sites between Neranwood and Pine Creek Road
6 sites, including a major landslip site, on Pine Creek Road about 1km from the intersection of Gold Coast–Springbrook Road
2 sites on Springbrook Road.
Once construction starts in March 2026, multiple sites will be active at one time, with stop/slow traffic control in place.
Further damage was sustained as a result of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred in March 2025.
Following the emergency repairs, significant work has been ongoing behind the scenes, including survey and geotechnical investigations, planning, design and engaging contractors through a tender and contract award process.
These investigations will ensure the Queensland Government develops the best value-for-money reconstruction solutions for more than 70 identified damage sites to be restored.
A major site to be restored is the 30m upslope slip that occurred above the road approximately 8km from Mudgeeraba at Neranwood. This site will require extensive reconstruction works to remediate the slope.
Restoration works are expected to commence in mid to late 2026.
