To the west of the township of Cooroy, the Bruce Highway provides a major north-south link to destinations such as
Gympie, Nambour and Brisbane. Refer Bruce Highway (North) off-ramp at Elm Street, and the Elm Street underpass in
Figure 2.9. The Bruce Highway (North) is currently accessed via Pomona, although it is understood that works are
currently underway by the Queensland Government to provide an interchange at the northern end of Elm Street to
provide both access and egress to the northbound and southbound directions along the Bruce Highway. The new
interchange is due to be opened in 2016, before the development base year of 2018. This northern connection to the
Bruce Highway is not anticipated to affect the site traffic directionality of development vehicle trips.
