Published on 04 December 2025
Livingstone Shire Council is proud to announce the successful completion of the Greenlake Road and Artillery Road project, a key infrastructure initiative focused on improving safety, accessibility, and connectivity for the region.
The project involved targeted road widening and alignment improvements along Artillery Road, designed to enhance transport efficiency and provide safer travel for residents, businesses, and visitors.
The road construction works were successfully delivered by Durack Civil Pty Ltd, providing a high-quality outcome that supports improved road infrastructure in the area.
Mayor Adam Belot said the project represents an important investment in the Shire’s transport infrastructure.
“The completion of this upgrade will significantly improve road safety, ease congestion, and support local economic growth by enhancing transport connections across the region,” Mayor Belot said.
“By widening intersections, adding turning lanes, and improving drainage, we are delivering tangible benefits that will be felt by residents, local businesses, and visitors alike.”
Councillor Rhodes Watson, Infrastructure Portfolio Co-Chair, highlighted the long-term benefits of the works.
“This project is another example of Council’s commitment to maintaining a safe and reliable road network,” Cr Watson said.
“The improvements will not only enhance safety but also support the local economy by making it easier for goods, services, and people to move across the region.”
Key project works included:
- Widening of the existing intersection, improving traffic flow and reducing congestion.
- Installation of multiple culverts to enhance drainage and prevent flooding-related road hazards.
- Construction of designated turning lanes from Artillery Road into Greenlake Road, improving vehicle movements and reducing the risk of accidents.
- Upgraded line marking and signage, delivering clearer guidance and safer conditions for all road users.
The project was jointly funded, with 80% provided by the Australian Government, and 20% contributed by Council.
