Project Introduction
Georgiou, in joint venture with Acciona Construction Australia, is delivering the Coomera Connector Stage 1 North project at Coomera on the Gold Coast, Queensland for repeat client, Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads.
The Coomera Connector (sometimes referred to as the Second M1), is a future state-controlled north-south transport corridor between Loganholme and Nerang. Coomera Connector Stage 1 North is a four-kilometre section of this future transport corridor from Shipper Drive to Helensvale Road and includes upgrades to a section of Foxwell Road and a section of Shipper Drive (now known as the Coomera Link Road). The new road will be an alternative to the M1, providing more transport capacity to support the rapidly growing residential and business communities in the northern Gold Coast and neighbouring Logan areas.
