The final design to widen this section of Chambers Flat Road to improve safety and install major drainage has been completed and additional funding provided by the Australian Government to cover the rising cost of resources which has hampered progress of this major project
The project area extends from Park Ridge Road in Park Ridge, to just south of Derby Road in Chambers Flat.
| Latest update |
April 2025 - Early works to relocate existing services (including sewer, water, power, communications and gas) are anticipated to commence in the second half of 2025.
A community information session will be held mid-year. We will provide more information on this closer to the date.
We will keep the community updated as the project progresses. |
Why is the upgrade needed?
The upgrade will help to ensure Chambers Flat Road is able to accommodate future traffic demands.
Traffic is expected to increase significantly over the next 20 years because of residential and business growth linked to Chambers Flat, Logan Reserve and Park Ridge.
Chambers Flat Road currently carries approximately 19,000 vehicles per day. This figure is expected to rise to approximately 28,000 vehicles per day, a 47 percent increase.
If this section of the network is not upgraded, congestion and delays can be expected into the future as the volume of traffic increases along local roads.
Project timings
Early works to relocate existing services (sewer, water, power, and communications) are expected to occur in the second half of 2025, depending on the ability of the service providers to undertake this preconstruction activity, as well as weather and site conditions.
This phase is anticipated to take six months, during which time tenders for a civil contractor will be assessed, ready for construction to start early in 2026, pending the relocation of services.
Main construction works may take up to two years to complete, depending on weather and construction conditions. The main construction work will not begin until the early works are completed, and the head contractor is appointed.
Community information
A community information session about the project will be held mid-year. More information will be provided closer to the date.
A 'Meet the Team' event will be held for the community before construction begins, offering local residents an opportunity to ask further questions about the project.
Regular updates will be provided through our webpage and social media channels
Chambers Flat Road and School Road Intersection Upgrade
The planned upgrade of the Chambers Flat Road and School Road intersection is part of the main project. It comprises installation of a temporary roundabout to improve safety and traffic flow. This roundabout will stay until School Road is upgraded and realigned in future infrastructure programs, depending on funding and planning requirements. The safety of our community is our top priority, and we recognise the urgency of addressing the hazards at this busy intersection.
Project features
To maintain safety as traffic increases, we’re making changes to Chambers Flat Road from Park Ridge to Chambers Flat. This means different access from some side streets, as well as:
- widening Chambers Flat Road to 2-lanes in each direction
- traffic light upgrade at Park Ridge Road
- new traffic lights at Koplick Road
- temporary roundabout at School Road (this will be removed in future years as part of the planned School Road realignment)
- removal of temporary access driveways at Rural Street and Isla Street
- East Beaumont Road to become left in and left out only
- no right entry to Derby Road from the south, (across Chambers Flat Road). Motorists will proceed to the legal U-turn facility at Koplick Road.
Project benefits
The upgraded road will help to:
- improve safety as traffic increases
- unlock local bottlenecks for more reliable travel times
- build a well-managed road network to improve access and economic opportunity.
