The Dohles Rocks Road on and off ramps in Griffin are one of the most eagerly awaited and anticipated infrastructure projects in the Petrie electorate. It's a very fast-growing area in the Moreton Bay city. With more than 150,000 road users travelling this section daily, this project, when constructed, will benefit local commuters, freight drivers and holiday-makers. Residents in Griffin are crying out for this infrastructure. We've had a lot of rain in Queensland since the new year, the start of 2024, and, when it floods, the intersection at Dohles Rocks Road as you head southbound onto the highway goes underwater. As part of this project, it will be upgraded with an on-ramp north and an off-ramp south.

Unfortunately, this project is six years overdue. The Leader of the Opposition, the member for Dickson, Peter Dutton and I, along with the help of the people of Murrumba Downs and Griffin, secured 80 per cent of the money for this project back when Malcolm Turnbull was the Prime Minister. That's how long ago it was. It was back in 2018. Do you think we can get any action out of the state Labor government or the local member, Steven Miles? There's been absolutely nothing.
