Narangba to Bald Hills
Early planning for Stage 3 of the Bruce Highway Western Alternative (BHWA) between Narangba and Bald Hills is currently on hold. The focus remains on completing early planning for the section of corridor between Elimbah and Moodlu, before Stage 3 can progress further.
Sections of the Stage 3 study area are highly
developed, with environmental, flooding and other planning constraints. As a
result of the highly constrained study area the number of viable alignment
options may be limited for Stage 3.
TMR continues to collect early feedback on Stage 3, and we thank the community for contributions provided so far. Feedback will help inform viable alignment options. Provide early feedback on Stage 3 below.
Timeframes for more detailed planning, design and construction are not known at this time and will depend on
government priorities and future funding commitments.
TMR will keep the community updated when planning progresses.
Stage 3 will continue south towards Bald Hills.
What would you like TMR to consider in planning for Stage 3?

Tunnel from Gateway intersection to Stage 2 with exit onto Dohles Rocks Rd/School Rd lights would have least impact on environment/housing

Think forward about population growth. Invest in long term solutions including a fast rail network instead of digging up more forest

Bypass Petrie as increased traffic will use Torrens/ Beeville/ Dayboro Rds to Youngs Crossing. People have problems now on Petrie streets.

More signs on the highway to increase driver knowledge (e.g Keep left unless overtaking) for improving traffic flow + decreasing frustration

Fix the Bruce by upgrading the Bruce. Don't obliterate the beauty of Lake Kurwongbah and surrounds. Same as SE freeway 15 years ago

Motorway should not run along the existing rail corridor. The land around rail corridor should be reserved for housing and TOD precincts

It’s funny that our property lies in stage 3 and we have just got a property valuation which reduced its value $750000K. We are not alone.

More congested traffic through a peaceful suburb that doesn’t benefit. Environmental disaster. Reclaimed land. No one wants this. Disgusting

Very concerned for the wildlife and destruction of their habitat. Peaceful neighbourhood will become noisy and busy with traffic.
