Caboolture River Road is set to receive a series of major improvements within the next decade, recognising the importance of this east-west transport corridor.
The four kilometre section from Morayfield Road to west of Crome Court will be transformed from a two-lane undivided road into an enhanced four-lane carriageway that will better meet growing community needs.
The improvements will deliver:
- increased traffic capacity
- traffic safety enhancements
- additional safe crossing points for cyclists and pedestrians
- increased opportunity for cycling and pedestrian activity
- upgraded intersections
- dedicated turning lanes
- support for regional growth
- an overall vision and cohesive appearance for the road corridor.
The improvements to Caboolture River Road have been planned and designed to ensure these much-needed upgrades are delivered to accommodate growing demands and user needs. They will also benefit families and businesses already located in and around the corridor that rely on Caboolture River Road for their day-to-day lifestyle and activities.
Project 1: Caboolture River Road - Morayfield Road to Grant Road
City of Moreton Bay is working to upgrade Caboolture River Road at Morayfield, between Morayfield Road and Grant Road to cater to growing and future travel demands.
The project includes a commitment for funding from the Queensland Government and City of Moreton Bay and forms part of the SEQ City Deal.
Road construction work is expected to begin in 2026 and completed in 2028.

Key features
- Widening Caboolture River Road between Grant Road and Morayfield Road to provide two traffic lanes in each direction (four lanes in total) with a central median.
- Installing additional traffic turning lanes at key intersections.
- Installing new traffic lights at the intersection of Amy and Kenneth Streets.
- Upgrading the existing traffic lights at Grant Road and Morayfield Road.
- Changing access at Ben Street and Lorebury Drive to left in/left out only.
- Installing new cycling and pedestrian paths on both sides of the road.
Current activities
Preparing for service relocations
Water, sewer, electricity and telecommunication services will need to be relocated along the project alignment in 2026, to accommodate the wider road footprint.
In preparation for these activities, it will be necessary for contractor Doval Constructions to remove selected vegetation between Morayfield Road and Grant Road.
This work commenced late November 2025 and will take up to four weeks, weather permitting. Activities will be undertaken with care in line with environmental requirements.

New school car park for Morayfield State School
Morayfield State School’s ageing car park facilities will be transformed from late 2025 through to early 2026.
The 60-space facility, supported by a new student drop-off and pick-up zone, will also feature an internal zebra crossing and path to provide families with safer access to parked vehicles.
Improving access and safety around the school has been a priority throughout the project’s design phase. Council and the Department of Education have been working closely to create what will be a truly modern school transit facility, guided by feedback from the school.
It's expected that work will commence in December 2025. The contractor will use as much of the summer school break as possible to minimise impacts to the school community and road users. We expect this part of the project to be completed by early 2026, weather permitting. Service relocation works are scheduled for early to mid-next year.
