Two-thirds done! Scrub Hill Road, Dundowran, is taking shape! 🙌

Much of the hard work has been happening underground, but we're now moving into the exciting stage of building the new road surface.

✅ 500+ metres of stormwater pipes installed
✅ 200+ metres of drainage culverts constructed
✅ Thousands of cubic metres of earth moved

It's great to see the progress, with the finished road set to deliver safer crossings, better connections and improved drainage for the growing community 👏

A big thank you to nearby residents, school families and motorists for your ongoing patience. We're getting closer! The road is on track to reopen in early 2027, weather permitting.

Scrub Hill Road remains closed between Urraween Road and a point approximately 20 metres south of Empire Circuit, with access to Empire Circuit and nearby residential areas maintained.

The $7.16 million upgrade is funded by the Queensland Government through the Residential Activation Fund.
