The Queensland Government has accelerated the delivery of major road works in partnership with Somerset Regional Council to unlock up to 2000 homes through Round 1 of the State’s $2 billion Residential Activation Fund.
The Fernvale South Productivity Link will deliver key infrastructure to accelerate land availability, support new neighbourhoods, and improve access for the expanding local community.
The upgrades include improvements to key roads and intersections between the Brisbane Valley Highway and Old Fernvale Road, as well as sealing and upgrading Muckerts Lane and McCulkins Lane.
Somerset Regional Council Mayor, Jason Wendt said the project will deliver long lasting benefits for the community.
“This transformative project unlocks land supply sooner, strengthens key local connections and delivers more reliable access through Fernvale,” Mayor Wendt said.
“Completing these key upgrades will make a significant difference and ensure our local road network is ready to support new homes and future growth,” he said.
“Today, we’re delivering homes in the Somerset Region sooner by literally paving the way for this community to grow,” said Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning, Jarrod Bleijie.
