High usage: These intersections are heavily used by residents, visitors and local businesses. As traffic increases, safety and congestion issues are becoming more noticeable.

Crash history: Both locations have a history of crashes. Improving these intersections now will help reduce the risk of serious incidents by simplifying movements, improving visibility and providing safer options for all road users.

Access challenges: Safer pedestrian crossings and better turning movements will also make it easier for people to access Alexandra Headland beach and local amenities.

The department is exploring options to signalise both intersections and install signalised pedestrian crossings.

This will help address known safety issues for all road users, including people walking to and from the beach, cafes and parks around Alexandra Headland.

This early stage is about gathering information, from a technical and community perspective.

There may be some changes for road users to consider.

Parking changes

To deliver the proposed upgrades - including new pedestrian crossings, safer vehicle movements and a fully signalised intersection - there will be some parking impacts.

At Alexandra Parade, some on‑street parking will need to be removed. Early design work indicates that offset parking will help limit the net loss to five spaces. We understand how valuable parking is in this area and will continue to refine the design to minimise impacts wherever possible.

At Buderim Avenue, some informal parking will also need to be removed to support the upgrade. This change will help improve visibility and sight lines for all road users. Again, we will work to minimise impacts wherever possible as the design progresses.

Lighting improvements

Both intersections will require upgraded intersection lighting to support visibility and night‑time safety. This lighting will be directional and designed to minimise light spill into nearby homes, helping maintain local amenity.
