Kirkwood Road Structure Plan

Building on its established track record of providing successful projects for the Gladstone Regional Council, GHD has been engaged to assist with the implementation of its Kirkwood Road Structure Plan for the southwest section of the city.

The plan was produced in 2004 and caters for a population increase of more than 5,000 people, and presents a blueprint for the future of an important part of the city. It includes the construction of Kirkwood Road from Dawson Highway to Gladstone/Benaraby Road, providing a number of new traffic routes from the area.

These new routes, together with the future duplication of the Dawson Highway, will relieve the pressure that has built up recently on the surrounding roads and provide a western bypass for heavy vehicles.

The project is a staged development with GHD providing the detailed design and documentation, stormwater, pavement and intersection designs, as well as environmental, traffic and safety audits during stages 1, 2 and 3, as well as providing construction phase services for the project.

The design of a 3-span deck unit bridge, over Police Creek during Stage 2 of the project, required maintenance of both environmental and cultural heritage values in the surrounding area. The eagerly anticipated project is nearing completion stages currently.

The efficient movement of goods and people is necessary for our quality of life, economic prosperity and productivity. Appropriate land use policies, pricing, regulations and demand management are needed to underpin integrated supply chains and public transport services to create a sustainable transport system.
