Contractors on the Section A project have been in close liaison with local schools about the project and provided mulch for their grounds where possible . Mulch has also been provided to residents near the works . The project team also engages local schools to assist with on-site BBQ ’ s , to contribute to their Parents and Citizens ’ funds ; and will look at opportunities to provide project stakeholders with tours of the site as construction progresses .
The Section A project is expected to be completed in late 2016 , weather permitting . Following this , the department will take ownership of the new highway which includes any future maintenance requirements such as mowing , repairs , collecting debris and establishing landscaped areas . Each contractor is also responsible for a 12 month ‘ defects liability ’ period after they are finished to ensure the project is maintained to a high standard .
The Section A project will connect the existing four-lane highway in Cooroy to the recently opened section in Federal , ultimately providing at least four highway lanes from Brisbane to Traveston . It will also improve safety for highway and local traffic , reducing the number of fatalities and crashes along the Cooroy to Federal road section .
