Infrastructure Australia's sights turn to northern Brisbane
Tackling road congestion in Brisbane’s northern suburbs is now officially a key priority in Infrastructure Australia's updated assessment of the nation's needs.
Several years ago, the Gold Coast’s M1 was the road corridor in the spotlight, but that has priority has shifted as work is already under way.
On Wednesday, the federal government’s infrastructure body will include studies to improve the road capacity in Brisbane’s northern suburbs, as part of the national COVID-19 recovery, as a new "high priority".
Infrastructure Australia has released, for the first time, a midyear assessment of its priorities for infrastructure projects listed by the federal and state governments as Australia plans its recovery from COVID-19.
The Infrastructure Priority List identifies which projects will have the most immediate impact on communities.
