Funding and program status
As at July 2022 funding of $20 million has been allocated for the planning study. Planning is being progressed in four stages. The alignment for stage 1 has been confirmed, and planning for stage 2 is continuing.[1]
Stage 1
The alignment for stage 1 runs 8.3 kilometres (5.2 mi) from Caboolture River Road in Moorina to the D'Aguilar Highway in Moodlu, following a fairly straight line along an existing power line easement. It passes through Upper Caboolture, crosses the Caboolture River, and then passes through Bellmere.[1]
Stage 2
Stage 2 will run approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Narangba to Moorina, with corridor options still being evaluated.[1]
Stages 3 and 4
Stage 3 is from Bald Hills Interchange to Narangba, and stage 4 is from Moodlu to Sippy Downs Interchange .[1]
Development west of Caboolture
The land adjacent to stage 1 of the road is the site of a new regional city to be known as Caboolture West. It is planned that, over the next 40 years, it will grow to accommodate 30,000 new homes with a population of 70,000.[2]
