Improvements will be made to the Gatton-Esk Road, between the Lockyer and Brisbane Valleys west of Brisbane, to reduce wet weather impacts.
Minister for Transport and Main Roads Brent Mickelberg said planning was underway to “boost resilience” for the area of the road between Millers Road and the Warrego Highway.
“We committed to improving flood resilience on Gatton-Esk Road, and we are now progressing the planning needed to deliver that outcome,” Mr Mickelberg said.
“A more resilient road network supports a better lifestyle for local families and underpins a stronger economy by keeping people, goods and services moving when it matters most.”
Member for Lockyer Jim McDonald said community consultation would play a central role in shaping future solutions.
“I invite and look forward to feedback from our community to ensure upgrades reflect local priorities,” Mr McDonald said.
Locals are encouraged to have their say until April 9 2026 by visiting the Department of Transport and Main Roads online portal.
