Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington and Member for Glass House Andrew Powell have joined forces to call for funding to fix the D’Aguilar Highway between Kilcoy and Woodford.
The pair have launched a petition calling on the State Government to stop “patching” the highway.
Mrs Frecklington said there had been the growing number of complaints about this busy section of highway.
“We just can’t wait any longer. The Labor Government needs to put urgent funding towards resurfacing the section between Kilcoy and Woodford,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“Andrew and I have launched a petition so we can demonstrate the huge amount of community concern about the current state of this road.”
Mr Powell said that while other sections of the D’Aguilar Highway had received much-needed upgrades, the section between Woodford and Kilcoy continued to deteriorate with every downpour.
“All we seem to get are these basic patch jobs which just can’t cope with the high level of traffic we are now seeing on the D’Aguilar,” Mr Powell said.
“They need to stop this patching and reseal the road urgently,” he said.
