Berry closing to finish line
The $7 million upgrade of William Berry Drive in Morayfield is progressing, with completion expected by early August 2025.
The project, delivered in three phases, aims to enhance road safety and functionality in the region’s rapidly growing area.
Phase 1: Completed
The first phase involved the demolition of existing structures and the construction of new retaining walls, stormwater drainage, and associated works on land acquired from the Cash Converters and Kings Storage properties. This phase has been successfully completed.
Phase 2: Utility Relocation
Phase two focuses on the relocation of underground utility services by Energex, Unitywater, Telstra, NBN, and TPG. To minimize disruption, most of this work is being undertaken at night and is expected to be completed by the end of June 2025.
Phase 3: Road Construction
The final phase includes the construction of new stormwater drainage, road widening, pavement rehabilitation, pathways, street lighting, and landscaping. Work is ongoing during both day and night shifts to accommodate utility service relocations and maintain access to the nearby shopping centre and loading docks.
Despite challenges posed by excessive wet weather and the effects of Cyclone Alfred — which required urgent repairs by Energex crews — the project remains on track.
Councillor Adam Hain emphasised the importance of this upgrade in supporting the region’s growth and improving infrastructure for local residents and businesses.
The project is part of a broader initiative to enhance road networks and accommodate the area’s increasing population.
