This will align with other projects in the area including The Wave and Mooloolah River Interchange projects.
Community feedback provided in late 2021 reinforced the need to address congestion and connectivity in the area and the need for a more detailed study into the section between Maroochy Boulevard and Maroochydore Road expected to commence in 2027–28 (ID: 3947730).
There is currently no funding allocated for design or construction.
