Road . This location minimises impacts on nearby communities while still allowing for an efficient , high-capacity interchange that links in well with local roads and is convenient for road users to access .
The recommended option for the Section A project , including the new Cooroy northern interchange location , was displayed to the public in November 2011 . This was met with positive feedback and minor changes were then made to the design to create the final layout for the project .
The department will maintain close contact with property owners and residents in close proximity to the Section A project and other key stakeholders to keep them informed on the progress of construction work .
During the Section A project , koala habitats will be established at 14 sites owned by the department adjacent to the Bruce Highway between Pomona and Traveston . This environmental initiative will contribute towards a net gain in koala habitats across south-east Queensland as part of the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection ’ s Koala Offsets Policy . This offset program will involve revegetating the sites with native tree species , and managing the areas until the bushland is self-sustaining and capable of supporting koalas .
