Upgrade to the entrance of The Mill at Moreton
Bay
Upgrades to the entrance of The Mill at Moreton Bay
will begin this year.
Home to the first new greenfield university campus
in more than twenty years in Australia, The Mill at
Moreton Bay project will generate thousands of local higher
education and employment opportunities for the region.
Upgrades include widening of a section of Gympie Road,
creation of a new entrance for The Mill at the intersection of
Gympie Road and Paper Avenue (opposite Wyllie Park rest area),
as well as an upgraded and safer entry to Wyllie Park.
These upgrades will provide safer access to the university
campus for motorists turning onto and off Gympie Road, as well
as pedestrians and cyclists travelling between the campus and
Wyllie Park.
As part of these works, a number of trees need to be removed
from Wyllie Park to allow for the widening of the road and
additional turning lanes.
Council has committed to a replanting program which will see SCAM ALERT – Extortion email scam
