Upgrades to Cooroy Intersections – Business Case and Design
Planning is underway for future upgrades at the intersections of Elm and Myall Streets, and Elm and Diamond Streets in Cooroy.
Prior to the 2024 State election, I secured $500,000 for the business case and design works for these Corooy traffic hotspots.
This work builds on preliminary planning completed in 2019, which included valuable community feedback. TMR is progressing the business case and design.
The planning will explore upgrades that:
Ease congestion and improve traffic flow during peak times
Enhance safety for all road users
Improve walking and cycling connections.
On Thursday Oct 23 and Saturday Oct 25, a traffic count was undertaken by TMR to inform future investigations.
These counts help inform project development and intersection design by providing data on vehicle volumes, movement patterns, and peak-hour demands.
This information assists in identifying current congestion issues, assessing safety and operational performance, and ensuring that future upgrades are appropriately designed to meet community needs and safety standards.
TMR is committed to keeping the community updated as the project progresses. Find out more here.

Palmwoods Intersection – Project Update
Planning is underway to improve safety and traffic flow at the Jubilee Drive, Chevallum Road and Woombye-Palmwoods Road intersections, including integration with the Palmwoods rail overpass.
Prior to the 2024 State Election, I secured $700,000 to fund the business case and design works for this important project.
As part of the planning process, the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has undertaken traffic surveys at the Woombye-Montville Road and Jubilee Drive intersection in Palmwoods. This surveying activity will be visible to motorists and helps collect data on vehicle volumes, movement patterns and peak-hour demand. This information is critical to identifying congestion and safety issues and ensuring any future upgrades are designed to meet community needs and safety standards.
The design will:
Improve traffic performance
Reduce flooding risks
Enhance road safety
The initial planning phase is now complete with a preferred concept to be published for community consultation and feedback soon.
TMR will continue to engage with the community as the project develops.
Nambour Connection Road and Diddillibah Road Intersection – Planning
Design is underway to introduce traffic signals at the Nambour Connection Road intersections with Diddillibah Road and Blackall Street in Woombye.
Signalising these intersections will provide safer turning movements, enhance intersection capacity and support a more efficient local road network.
I have secured $2.5 million for this project under the Safer Roads, Better Transport Initiative.
Key features include:
- Installation of traffic signals at the intersections of Diddillibah Road and Blackall Street to enable safer turning movements into and from Nambour Connection Road.
Concept design have been announced and you can have your say here until Oct 2: Have your say.
