The East West Connector project aims to ultimately provide the necessary transport link between Neils Road and the Keppel Bay Marina, in an effort to enhance connectivity across the Livingstone Shire. This vital infrastructure initiative will reduce travel times, increase road safety, and support local economic development by providing more efficient access to key areas, including business hubs, agricultural zones, tourist destinations, and residential communities.
By delivering this project, Livingstone Shire Council is responding to the region's growth and transportation demands. The East West Connector will not only support current and future residents but also encourage investment in the region by improving logistical links, supporting tourism, and enhancing access to essential services. This project is part of the Council's broader commitment to ensuring sustainable and resilient infrastructure for the community.
