The Albanese Government has committed $30.2 million to address road safety at 44 locations across Queensland under the 2026-27 Black Spot Program funding round.
Local councils will contribute $3.1 million towards two of the projects.
The Black Spot Program funds safety measures such as traffic lights, safety barriers, roundabouts and pedestrian crossings at locations where serious crashes have occurred or are at risk of occurring.
The projects were recommended by the Queensland Black Spot Consultative Panel. This panel is comprised of local stakeholders to ensure nominations of the highest priority and importance to the local community are recommended for approval.
The Black Spot Program provides $150 million annually towards improving road safety at sites right across the country.
It is a key part of the Australian Government's commitment under the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030 to reducing fatalities and serious injuries on our roads.
Anyone can nominate a Black Spot for consideration, including individuals, community groups and local councils.
