Calls for urgent action to address road safety issues in the Mirani electorate have been put on the waiting list amid “competing statewide priorities” and a “high demand for road upgrades”.
Mirani MP Stephen Andrew threw his support behind two petitions submitted to Queensland Parliament – one calling for upgrade works on Anzac Avenue in Marian and another urging a new passing lane for the Benson and Hay Point Road T-intersection.
Both petitions received more than 400 signatures between them.
“This section of road (Anzac Avenue) serves as a designated over-dimension route servicing the Bowen Basin as well as local sugar, timber and tourism businesses,” one of the petitions stated.
