Mackay Regional Council wishes to advise that we will be undertaking road extension works from Reed Street, Rural View to Norwood Parade, Beaconsfield. These works will help ease congestion on Mackay-Bucasia Road during peak traffic periods.

The project will also help to accelerate housing development in the area, to meet the housing requirements of one of our region’s fastest growing areas.

The connection road will create a vital east-west connection that will reduce congestion, improve connectivity and make the construction of additional homes in the area more attractive.

It will provide a direct link between the growing residential estate of Kerrisdale and a nearby commercial centre, school and other community services at Rural View.

Reduced speed limits will be in place, within the area of works, during construction, and a 50km/h speed limit will be in place once construction is complete.

The connection road will improve flood immunity and accessibility to the Northern Beaches Community Hub and essential community facilities, like the cyclone shelter at Mackay Northern Beaches State High School.

The works will begin on Monday, November 17, 2025, weather permitting. The works are expected to be completed by late-May 2027. Please refer to the may above for the area of works.

Where possible, as many of the existing trees will be retained. However, as part of these works, some trees will require removal. Each tree will be replaced with a native tree.

There will be some construction traffic, noise and dust disturbances with various plant and equipment on-site.

We thank you for your patience during these essential works.

Should you have any questions, please contact council’s Community Engagement team on 1300 MACKAY (622 529) or engagement@mackay.qld.gov.au

This project is proudly funded by the Queensland Government’s Residential Activation Fund in association with Mackay Regional Council.
