The bus stop along Darlington Drive, near the intersection of Banora Hills Drive, will be relocated about 60 metres south.
The bus stop relocation is designed to improve safety and efficiency for buses making turns. This change will enhance the safety and functionality of our local road network for passengers, drivers and residents.
Work hours are Monday to Friday, 7 am to 3 pm.
Please do not use on-street parking during work hours.
The road will remain open however an exclusion zone will be established using traffic cones or witches’ hats. Please follow the signage.
Pedestrian movement may be directed or restricted.
As part of our commitment to deliver a safe and connected local road network, we'll soon be upgrading the Leisure Drive, Greenway Drive and Darlington Drive intersection in Banora Point.
This project will be delivered in 2 stages (see work zones map below).
Stage 1, located at sites 2, 1 and 5 on the map below, was completed in February 2024. This stage included relocating services (such as gas, telecommunications and water), realigning kerbs and gutters, widening the road and modifying underground drainage.
Stage 2 of the upgrade will be carried out during the Christmas school holidays of 2024/2025, ensuring that the majority of works are completed with minimal disruption to school activities. This stage includes installing a signalised pedestrian crossing and widening lanes to make travel through this area safer and easier for everyone.
For the safety of our crews and the adverse impact on infrastructure quality, works are not able to be undertaken during wet conditions.
Council crews will undertake the works from Monday to Friday, between 7 am and 5 pm. Works may need to be conducted some Saturdays, between 7 am to 1 pm. Linemarking will be carried out at night towards the end of the project.
What to expect during construction:
- There will be no access to the grassed area, about 50 metres east of the roundabout, during construction.
- Two-way traffic will be maintained during construction however, lanes will be narrower and the speed limit will be reduced to 40 km/h.
- Temporary road and lane closures during work hours, which may cause delays of up to 5 minutes.
- Avoid on-road parking during work hours.
- Use alternative routes where possible or allow additional time for your journey.
- During temporary footpath closures, we'll provide clear directions for pedestrians to navigate around the work areas. For pedestrian detours, see work zone maps below.
- The bus stop, west of Advocate Place, will be temporarily relocated about 100 metres to the east, just past Advocate Place.
- Limited access to some properties and driveways within the work zone during work hours. Please ask the traffic controller for help if you need access.Changed traffic conditions with traffic controllers guiding traffic flow during work hours.
- As part of the road widening, drainage improvements and new footpath installation, some trees within the work zone will need to be removed, while others will be saved where possible. In some cases, root systems may be impacted, making preservation unfeasible. Trees that cannot be saved will be replaced with new plantings to maintain the area’s greenery. Additionally, tree trimming will be conducted east of Advocate Place.
