Residents in Birkdale and Thorneside can expect upcoming road maintenance work, with the Redland City Council preparing to undertake improvements in the area. The project is part of a larger investment in the local transport network to ensure smoother surfaces and better road conditions for the community.
A key focus of this maintenance is the resurfacing of Randall Road in Birkdale. This specific project is being supported by the Australian Government through the Roads to Recovery Program.
To help reduce the impact on local traffic and shorten construction times, the council is using a technique known as foam bitumen stabilisation, which it has employed on other projects. According to Redlands Coast Today, this method also helps lower environmental impacts by reducing the amount of raw materials required.
These works fall under the council’s 2025-2026 Annual Capital Works Program, which has dedicated over $43 million toward transport, roads, and traffic projects across the region. Previous years saw significant hurdles to project delivery following the impact of Tropical Cyclone Alfred, which required resources to be redirected toward recovery efforts.
Residents looking for information regarding specific street impacts or the timing of the works can contact the council on 07 3829 8999 between 8.30am and 4.30pm on weekdays. Alternatively, constituents in the area can reach out to the Division 10 Councillor, Paul Bishop, on 07 3829 8605 or 0478 836 286.
