Community consultation

A first round of consultation in February and March 2023, identified safety and congestion at the Double Jump Road and Mount Cotton Road intersection, and Taylor Road and Redland Bay Road intersection, as key community priorities.

A second round of community consultation in May and June 2024, sought community feedback on options to address safety concerns at these priority locations.

More than 1700 people visited the project consultation page, wrote to the project team, or provided feedback face-to-face at information sessions. Over 400 formal submissions or contributions were received:

  • 70% of participants supported signalisation of the Double Jump Road and Mount Cotton Road intersection
  • 61% of participants supported signalisation of the Taylor Road and Redland Bay Road intersection
  • other themes included concerns over congestion, support for lane duplication and the view that increasing turning lane storage or using slip lanes and roundabouts would improve traffic flow.

Community feedback and technical considerations informed finalisation of planning.

Future stages, including design and construction, are subject to approval and further funding.

Current status

The preferred options for these upgrades are currently not funded for delivery with further funding required to progress to detailed design and construction.
