Main Roads looks after Queensland's 34,000km state-controlled road
network - the highways and other main connecting roads in Queensland. This
task involves planning, designing, building and maintaining the roads and
associated infrastructure (such as bridges) on these roads.
Main Roads works in close partnership with local governments, industries
and communities to determine priorities for work on the state-controlled
network. This network carries 60-70% of Queensland's traffic. It is the
lifeblood of the state's economy and regional development. The network helps
all Queenslanders' quality of life by giving them access to jobs, health,
education, recreation and other services.
As well as having responsibility for planning, designing, building and
maintaining Queensland's state-controlled roads, Main Roads has an important
role to play in the management of activities that occur within the reserves
that contain the road infrastructure including pavements and traffic signs.
In general, Main Roads does not own the land on which state-controlled
roads are constructed. The land is Crown Land under the initial management
and control of Department of Natural Resources and Mines. However Main Roads
has, within the Transport Infrastructure Act, the primary management role for
most activities that occur on this land.
