I live in this area. there is no pressure from residents for a bridge. its all from the opposition LNP. residents have voted this down multiple times in many polls and surveys.

Caiguna Roadhouse, one of 10 outback roadhouses dotted along a 910-kilometre stretch of the Eyre Highway, has become the first to embrace electric vehicles with a carbon-neutral charger.

Is it just me, or wouldnât there be plenty of room for a bunch of solar panels (& battery) instead?

Good question. maybe they donât generate enough power for fast charging?

How low can we go?
If theyâd reduce limits only where there really is lots of pedestrian traffic, and increase motorway speed limits (on the good, straight dual carriageways), then I wouldnât mind.

Pacific Motorway would have been a candidate to have its speed limit increased, if it is not the only thoroughfare between Brisbane and Gold Coast, carrying lots of passenger and freight traffic.

It wonât be the only freeway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast when the new âCoomera Connectorâ is fully complete to Logan.
I think the main barrier to increasing the limit on the Pacific Mwy between Brisbane and the GC though is just the sheer volume of traffic. It might be 8 lanes but it carries an enormous amount of traffic with all lanes generally pretty full.

Interesting name for it!
More appropriate than the Beenleigh Bushtrack I suppose.

More than 1200 drivers were caught speeding by the cameras on the first day they were switched over the lower limits.
Multiple fines were issued to 3279 drivers between July 5 and July 31, while 15,195 motorists received one fine.
There were more than 27,000 speeding fines issued by cameras in the new zoneâŚ

Have QLD specified a speed limit? NSW started out with theirs at 40km/h until it was pointed out that dropping to that speed can actually create incidents in certain circumstances (like on freeways) then protect people at them.

Itâs a blanket 25km/h rule here in South Australia. Definitely not fun when you see a cop car on a 110km/h rural highway!

Something like the way the school crossings work - at least in Victoria - would be wise I think. 70km/h and below drop to 40, while 80 and above are 60km/h, as those roads already are designed to be safer at higher speeds.

Woolworths and Coles need to sort out the price they are charging for petrol. In my area there is no point getting a 4 cent off voucher after spending $30 when the price of the petrol is 30 cents more expensive than the local independent such as Budget Petrol which it frequently is.

They no longer control the price of petrol at their Coles Express branded stations, Viva does.
Viva Energy will take control of the service station forecourt by setting retail prices and making marketing decisions. Under the previous arrangement, Coles bought fuel from Viva wholesale then set its own retail prices.
Other than that, itâs the fuel cycle - not individual retailers that are responsible for significant differences in fuel prices between retailers.
