Works between Curtis Road and Tamborine Mountain Shopping Square commenced in late April 2022 and were expected to take 6 weeks to complete. Main Roads has advised that wet weather meant these works were delayed. Works are now expected to be completed by September 2022.

Nightworks from 6pm to 6am, Sunday to Thursday started in August.

Works will be done in two sections.
- Section 1: Rehabilitation works on Geissmann Drive 400m from the Tamborine Mountain Shopping Square
- Section 2: Resealing works on Geissmann Drive for a further 280m starting from the end of these rehabilitation works, to just before Curtis Road intersection (expected to complete later in 2022)

TAMBORINE-OXENFORD ROAD AT HOWARD CREEK
Main Roads has advised that for three weeks from
18 August, all traffic lanes will be moved to the northern side of the work zone on Tamborine-Oxenford Road at Howard Creek (the finished road surface on the new culverts). The changes are to enable construction of the southern traffic lane.

One set of traffic signals controlling movements from Oxenford will be temporary moved closer to the culverts. There may be some intermittent use of ‘stop and go’ traffic control during vegetation removal on the southern side of Tamborine-Oxenford Road.

The speed limit in all work areas will remain at 40km/h during working hours and 60km/h at all other times. Travel delays can be expected. These changes are for the safety of motorists and road workers, and to enable works to proceed as efficiently as possible.

VIETNAM VETERANS’ DAY
Last Thursday (18 August) was Vietnam Veterans’ Day, an opportunity to pay tribute to the almost 60,000 Australians who served their country in the Vietnam War from 3 August 1962 until 25 April 1975.

Australia lost 521 soldiers in conflict, more than 3000 were wounded and many more veterans suffered and continue to suffer to this day as a result of their service.

We remember the Battle of Long Tan, a battle which has come to symbolise our nation’s involvement in the Vietnam War because of the bravery, tenacity, and sacrifice made by Australian and New Zealand soldiers.

I take this opportunity to thank our Vietnam Veterans - you served our nation with distinction, honour, and valour.
