Old Gympie Road through Kallangur and Dakabin is used by more than 20,000 vehicles per day, and is going to get busier as our population grows. The area is also used by pedestrians, cyclists and other active transport users.

Some users are travelling to places along Old Gympie Road, like Kallangur State School, Dakabin Waste Facility, or local businesses. Others are using Old Gympie Road for longer trips to other areas. All of them need Old Gympie Road to be a safe and efficient transport route.

We previously consulted the community about our early planning for the upgrade to Old Gympie Road. We’ve considered your feedback in refining the design, and are now consulting the community on the detailed designs.

The detailed design for the Old Gympie Road – Anzac Avenue to Boundary Road upgrade includes:

• road works to widen it to a 4-lane median divided corridor with two lanes in each direction.
• adding traffic lights at nine (9) intersections
• upgrading the Fresh Water Creek crossing near Lillybrook Shopping Centre to a bridge
• a new entrance to the Dakabin Waste Facility from Goodwin Road
• new separate cycle track off the road
• new shared pathways, landscaping and street lighting.

Click the "+ Follow" button at the top of the page to be alerted when the detailed designs are published on this page.

You will be able to view the designs online or in person at one of our community drop in sessions. Provide your feedback by 5pm on Sunday 23 November 2025.

Council invited our communities to provide feedback on the upgrade of Old Gympie Road Upgrade: Anzac Avenue to Boundary Road between 2 March and 6 April 2021. Thank you to everyone who took the time to share your views with us.

In August 2024, Council engaged Arup Australia to design the upgrade of Old Gympie Road between Boundary Road, Dakabin and Anzac Avenue, Kallangur.

The design will include significant upgrades to the road corridor to ensure it meets the needs of residents as the city grows.

As part of early design process, Arup have undertaken a review of the existing designs to identify opportunities of improving the road network and providing state of the art transport facilities for our community. The result of this initial review has identified potential opportunities for positive outcomes for this road corridor, including:

• Opportunity to review construction and design elements to provide more value for money;
• Opportunity to retain some existing mature vegetation adjacent to the road;
• Opportunity to provide an off-road separated cycle track to improve safety for active transport users; and
• Review of construction sequencing to reduce overall length of construction.

Detailed design, incorporating these opportunities, will be completed in the middle of 2026. Council wants to make sure the final plan delivers the best possible outcome for our community and reduces the overall project construction timeframes.

We will use feedback from the community to refine the Detailed Design for the upgrade. We expect to complete this by mid-2026.

A number of services like powerlines, water and sewerage infrastructure and communications infrastructure will need to be relocated before we can start work on the road upgrades. Those relocations are expected to start in late 2026. Construction will only be able to start when all services have been relocated, which may take some time.

Council will continue to keep the community informed as the project progresses.
