Employer Profile: Queensland continues to experience strong economic and population growth. This growth has created a dynamic and challenging environment. A key State Government priority is to invest in road infrastructure that will satisfy this growing demand, drive economic growth and meet community expectations for a safe and reliable road system that moves people and freight around the State.
The Queensland State-controlled road network is the single largest public infrastructure asset in Queensland. This multi-billion dollar asset comprises some 34,000 kilometres of public roads. Main Roads is responsible for planning, managing, maintaining and enhancing this network so that it meets the current and future needs of people, business and industry throughout the State – now, and into the future. Main Roads also maintains a strategic interest in the remainder of the road system which is controlled by local governments, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community councils. Tollways are operated by Queensland Motorways Limited, a State owned entity.
