Brisbane Clearway Action Plan

Link copied

Council is reviewing clearway operating times on major road corridors to improve safety and ease congestion.

About the program

The Brisbane Clearway Action Plan - Keeping Brisbane Moving initiative will identify locations where extending the clearway hours to use road space more efficiently could ease congestion.

Program benefits

Improved traffic flow

Removing on-street parking during times of high traffic volume will help maintain a consistent flow of traffic.

Increased road capacity

Removing on-street parking from the kerb lane allow more vehicles to move through the corridor.

Enhanced road safety

The clearway will provide an unobstructed path for road users, improving visibility during high traffic periods.

Efficient public transport

By keeping the road clear, public transport services can move more efficiently, reducing delays and improving reliability.

Improved pedestrian and cyclist safety

Reducing on-street parking means improved visibility; reducing the risk of collisions and providing e a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists.

Musgrave Road-Waterworks Road project

The first clearway review is on Musgrave Road–Waterworks Road, from Red Hill to The Gap.

The clearway locations and operating times on this road were established more than 15 years ago. As Brisbane’s population has grown significantly over this time, it is important we review the current clearway operating times to support the needs of our growing community.

We’re reviewing the existing weekday clearway operating times and proposing to introduce weekend clearway times on Saturday and Sunday. 

Extending the clearway operating times would open an additional traffic lane for use when the clearway is active helping to get everyone home sooner and safer. 

Stages

  • Early 2025: First clearway review on Musgrave-Waterworks Road from Red Hill to The Gap, including seeking feedback on potential changes.
  • June 2025: Expected implementation of changes after community consultation.

Have your say

We’re seeking community feedback about proposed changes to clearway operating times on Musgrave Road–Waterworks Road.  

You can have your say on the potential introduction of clearway operations on weekends.  

Community consultation closes at 11.59pm on Sunday 6 April.
