Browns Plains Waste and Recycling Facility entry upgrade

Project overview

The entry road and roundabout at the Browns Plains Waste and Recycling Facility require an upgrade due to significant pavement failure. The upgrade will also support future planning for the facility by improving traffic flow for exiting vehicles and reducing queuing as customer numbers continue to grow.

The map below shows the project area where the road works will be undertaken.

Project timings

Stage 1 – Early September 2025 to mid-October 2025

Stage 2 – Mid October 2025 to mid-November 2025

Stage 3 – Late January 2026 to early February 2026

Stage 4 – Early February 2026 to mid-March 2026

Project features

The design includes:

• upgraded entry road and roundabout, including dedicated queuing lanes
• an additional outbound weighbridge
• a new overhead gantry
• improved pedestrian and operational walking facilities
• new line marking, drainage, and other associated road works.

Project benefits

The Browns Plains Waste and Recycling Facility entry road and roundabout upgrade will deliver a range of benefits, including:

• repairing and upgrading the road to restore safe and serviceable conditions for all site users
• reducing hazards and potential risks to create a safer environment for vehicles, pedestrians, and operational staff as traffic volumes increase
• improving traffic flow and reducing customer queuing during peak periods
• enhancing internal traffic arrangements and exit efficiency from the facility
• better aligning traffic infrastructure with the facility’s proposed future development plans.

Project impacts

Temporary traffic changes will be in place during construction, including lane closures and detours. These may cause delays. Customers are encouraged to plan their visits, avoid peak times where possible and follow all signage and directions from work crews.
