A study is underway to identify and prioritise road network connectivity and safety improvements to increase road capacity within the growing southern Sunshine Coast area.
The department has developed an area-wide transport sequencing plan to ensure that future road network connections and upgrades are planned and delivered in a prioritised, systematic manner.
The study will also deliver planning for Caloundra Road, Kawana Way Link Road and Bells Creek Arterial Road intersection upgrade and for the future Kawana Motorway.
The project team will keep key stakeholders and the community informed as the projects progress. Design and construction of the projects will be subject to future funding availability in consideration of other competing statewide priorities.
The project is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland governments.
The study is underway.

Options to improve safety and reduce congestion are being investigated at the Caloundra Road, Kawana Way Link Road and Bells Creek Arterial Road intersection in Caloundra.
Options are being investigated for a new motorway link (Kawana Motorway) between Parrearra and Meridan Plains. This new motorway will help cater for the growing population.
The Sunshine Motorway, Mooloolah River Interchange Upgrade will address well-known safety and congestion issues that are forecast to increase due to regional population growth and development, while also delivering improved north-south connectivity on the Sunshine Coast.
