Major Anzac Avenue Resurfacing Project to Begin in Mango Hill and Rothwell

Asphalt resurfacing will soon commence on approximately three kilometres of Anzac Avenue, with works scheduled to begin in late January 2026 along one of the region’s most heavily travelled arterial roads.

The $5.6 million project will target the stretch between Diamond Jubilee Way and Kinsellas Road East in Mango Hill through to Finnegan Street in Rothwell—a route that carries around 48,000 motorists daily. The comprehensive upgrade includes asphalt resurfacing and repairs, guardrail improvements, and a complete deck resurfacing of the Saltwater Creek bridge crossing.

Works are expected to be completed by mid-2026, weather and construction conditions permitting. Given the substantial traffic volumes along this corridor, the bulk of construction will take place at night, with occasional weekend and daytime works as required.

What Motorists Can Expect

Local residents and commuters should prepare for some disruption during the construction period. The night-time scheduling will help maintain traffic flow during peak hours while delivering essential road improvements.

The resurfacing works aim to improve road surface quality and reduce ongoing maintenance costs. By extending the road’s lifespan, the project addresses the needs of one of the area’s critical arterial roads serving the rapidly expanding communities of North Lakes, Mango Hill, and surrounding suburbs.

Part of Broader Regional Investment

This upgrade forms part of a much larger $7.2 billion investment in transport infrastructure across the North Coast region over the next four years. The funding envelope covers the local government areas of Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast, Noosa, and Somerset councils.

Within that broader allocation, $5.6 billion has been earmarked specifically for improving the safety and durability of roads across Queensland. The Anzac Avenue project is one of numerous initiatives designed to address road quality and safety concerns across the state.

Project Timeline and Traffic Management

Transport and Main Roads has indicated that efforts will be made to minimise inconvenience to motorists during construction. The decision to schedule most works at night reflects the challenges of maintaining traffic flow on a road carrying 48,000 vehicles daily.

Occasional weekend and daytime works will be required to complete certain aspects of the project, though the majority of disruptive activities will occur outside peak travel times.

Getting More Information

Residents with questions about the project timeline, expected impacts, or specific work schedules can contact Transport and Main Roads on (07) 5451 7055 or via email at northcoast@tmr.qld.gov.au.

While roadworks inevitably cause some inconvenience, the project represents a necessary investment in maintaining the quality and safety of infrastructure that tens of thousands of local residents rely on every day. The improvements should deliver smoother journeys and enhanced safety for motorists.

Mango Hill Urban Village Faces Resident Concerns Over Traffic and Infrastructure

Residents are making their voices heard as the Mango Hill Urban Village proposal undergoes public consultation, with several locals raising serious concerns about the scale and impact of the 23-tower development.


Read: Mango Hill Urban Village to Bring 23 Towers and Thousands of Homes to North Lakes


The project, proposed by the Pace family for a 10.4-hectare site on Anzac Avenue, has attracted pushback from community members worried about traffic congestion and infrastructure strain.

The development application (DA/2025/1375), currently before the City of Moreton Bay, seeks approval for 2,329 apartments across towers ranging from eight to 30 storeys—more than triple the 715 homes approved for the same site in 2018.

Infrastructure Concerns Dominate Feedback

Some residents have formally submitted concerns about increased traffic pressure on local roads, with one resident bluntly stating: “Current infrastructure in the area, roads, parking parklands and schools are not sufficient for the current population as of now. Anzac Ave is choking with current traffic levels and can’t accommodate more (Bruce Hwy is worse).”

The sentiment reflects broader anxiety about whether existing infrastructure can handle the influx of thousands of new residents to the area.

The developers propose a new intersection and public road network connecting to Anzac Avenue and Bowen Street as part of the project. They point to the site’s location just 400 metres from Mango Hill train station as a key feature of their transit-oriented development approach.

Vision for Growth

Photo credit: DA/2025/1375

The Pace family, who transitioned to property development after selling their egg business in 2023 for a reported $350 million, argue the region needs this kind of transformation.

In their submission to council, the developers stated the original 2018 plans, still unbuilt, failed to capitalise on the site’s unique opportunities near major transport infrastructure. They maintain the current proposal would deliver significant economic and lifestyle benefits that the lower-density version could not achieve.

Beyond residential towers, the proposal includes 118,000 square metres of commercial floorspace and 6,600 square metres dedicated to food, beverage and small retail operations at ground level. The developers estimate the project could create approximately 12,000 jobs—a substantial boost to the local economy.

A “green spine” pedestrian and cycling network would connect various zones within the precinct, along with 1.23 hectares of green space and pedestrian corridors designed to create a walkable urban environment.

Addressing the Housing Shortage

Mango Hill Urban Village

The developers have pointed to Moreton Bay’s housing composition as justification for high-density development. With 81 per cent of the region’s housing stock consisting of more expensive detached homes, they argue the towers would provide much-needed options for young professionals and couples priced out of the traditional housing market.

Moreton Bay’s population of 500,000 is projected to grow by 200,000 residents over the next 20 years, making it one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions. The developers contend that high-density developments near transport hubs are essential to accommodate this growth sustainably.

However, when questioned by council, the developers made no commitments to affordable housing minimums, raising questions about whether the units will genuinely serve those struggling with housing costs.

Heritage Trade-offs

Mango Hill Urban Village

The proposal would require removing three mango trees from the central island of Anzac Avenue to accommodate new road infrastructure. These trees hold historical significance, having been planted as part of a World War I memorial project that employed returned servicemen and honoured fallen comrades.

The developers have proposed planting 82 new mango trees across the site to offset the loss of 12 trees in total, though the heritage connection may prove difficult to replicate.

What Happens Next

Three additional submissions were rejected by council for not being properly lodged, suggesting there may be broader community interest in the proposal that hasn’t been formally captured.

The developers initially requested a 20-year approval period but scaled this back to 10 years after council queries—a move that may reflect recognition of community concerns about locking in such a long development timeline.

As the public submission period continues, the City of Moreton Bay faces the challenge of balancing resident concerns about infrastructure with the need for housing diversity and economic development in one of Queensland’s fastest-growing regions.

The City of Moreton Bay will make a decision on the application following the conclusion of the public submission period.

Mango Hill Property Fire Sparks Emergency Declaration on Sunday Morning

Emergency services worked throughout Sunday to contain a significant fire that destroyed multiple sheds at a Mango Hill property and prompted an emergency declaration in the surrounding area.



The blaze erupted at a property on Kinsellas Road West just before 6.30am on 28 December, with Queensland Fire Department crews arriving to find three sheds fully engulfed in flames.

Six fire crews attended the scene, battling the inferno until approximately 10.30am before bringing it under control. According to Queensland Fire Department, the sheds contained tyres and various other materials, with the burning rubber producing thick black smoke visible throughout the neighbourhood.

Queensland Police declared an emergency under the Public Safety Preservation Act shortly after 7am, encompassing Kinsellas Road West, Diamond Jubilee Way and Waler Close. The declaration was revoked at 10.56am, according to Queensland Police News.

During the emergency period, residents in the affected streets were asked to remain indoors with windows closed and air-conditioning systems set to recirculation mode where possible. Members of the public were urged to avoid the area.

Four people at the property were assessed by paramedics for minor injuries but none required hospitalisation.

Atmospheric testing conducted at the scene returned nil readings, indicating the air quality was safe, a Queensland Fire Department spokesperson confirmed.

By mid-afternoon, firefighters were still working to extinguish remaining hotspots and had requested specialist extraction equipment to reach areas of concern. Crews remained on scene into the evening to ensure the fire was completely extinguished. Fire investigators were also called to determine the cause of the blaze.

An excavator was brought in to help pull apart material within the sheds to allow firefighters better access to hotspots.

Several neighbours reported witnessing the dramatic scene unfold. Sam Sood, who was visiting family in the area for Christmas, said the fire erupted at the property directly behind his sister’s home.

Local resident Jekope Nuke indicated that rubbish was often burned at the property’s backyard.

Another neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, said residents had previously lodged multiple complaints with the Moreton Bay Regional Council regarding smoke from burning activities at the property. The neighbour said complaints were made because smoke would drift into the neighbouring unit complex and had a chemical smell, but they were told the burning was technically contained within a steel drum and council could not take action.

Mr Sood mentioned his sister had previously raised concerns about chemical odours and several fires at the property.

Dozens of residents from the neighbouring unit complex were evacuated and unable to return for several hours while crews worked to control the fire.

The City of Moreton Bay Council was contacted for comment but did not respond by publication time.



There is no suggestion of criminal wrongdoing in relation to the incident or the property’s occupants.

Music Ignites Mango Hill Community Spirit at St Benedict’s College

At St Benedict’s College Mango Hill, music is more than a subject — it has become part of the school’s heartbeat, thanks to the dedication of teacher Michael White. Since joining the college as a founding staff member in 2013, White has helped transform a modest school program into a dynamic music community that continues to grow each year.



Over time, his commitment and innovative approach have made music an essential part of the school’s identity. He has been recognised as a Highly Accomplished Teacher through the Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) certification framework, which acknowledges educators who shape culture and inspire excellence across schools.

Performance That Builds Confidence

White’s approach centres on giving students opportunities to perform and express themselves. Under his guidance, lunchtime and morning-tea concerts have become regular fixtures on the school calendar, offering students in Years 9 to 12 the chance to perform for their peers. These performances help students set learning goals, build confidence, and experience the energy of live performance.

Since 2023, the program has expanded beyond the classroom. Music students now perform at school carnivals, often playing for up to three hours at a time. These sets feature wind and brass instruments and showcase the creativity and teamwork that define the college’s approach to the arts.

Inspiring the Next Generation

St Benedict’s College Principal Tameika Grist said the success of the music program reflects White’s long-term dedication and the belief that the arts can bring a school community together. She noted that the positive culture created around music has given students confidence and a sense of belonging.

Several graduates have continued their studies at the Griffith Conservatorium of Music and other universities, with some aspiring to become music educators themselves. White’s leadership has encouraged students to pursue their passion beyond the school gates, contributing to a growing network of young musicians connected by their Mango Hill roots.



Commitment to Excellence in Education

The Highly Accomplished and Lead Teachers (HALT) certification recognises educators who demonstrate consistent excellence and influence in their schools. Within BCE, these teachers play a crucial role in driving innovation, mentoring peers, and improving classroom practice. White’s achievements at St Benedict’s College Mango Hill show how passion, persistence, and a commitment to students can spark long-lasting change across a community.

New $6.8-M Road in Mango Hill Tackles Congestion and Prepares for Growth

After more than a decade of local persistence, residents of Mango Hill are finally driving on a new $6.8-million ring road built to provide a vital second village exit and relieve major traffic headaches.



A Strategic Connection for a Growing Suburb

The new 165-metre road, which extends Lamington Road to connect with Capestone Boulevard across Anzac Avenue, was declared open to traffic early Wednesday morning. At 4:15 a.m., members of the local progress association were the first to officially cross the road, marking the completion of a project that began major construction in October 2023. This vital link is now fully integrated into the area’s ring road network, which includes Memorial Drive and Mango Hill Boulevard.

The project was engineered not just to solve today’s traffic problems but to lay a strong foundation for the region’s future. As Mango Hill and North Lakes continue to expand, this connection provides a much-needed second entrance to the Mango Hill Village, allowing residents to bypass the often-congested, state-controlled Anzac Avenue.

More Than Just a Road

Beyond easing traffic for drivers, the council-funded project was designed to improve life for the entire community. It features a median-divided, two-lane road complete with new traffic signals, but also includes dedicated on-road cycle lanes to encourage active transport.

New pathways and pedestrian crossing facilities have been added to improve safety and convenience for walkers, creating better access to both the Mango Hill and Mango Hill East train stations. The addition of significant landscaping enhances the streetscape, creating a more appealing entranceway to the village and boosting community character. The road now offers a seamless and safe route for walking, cycling, and driving between the North Lakes and Mango Hill Village precincts.



A Decade of Community Drive

This forward-thinking project was born from a long-term community effort. The Mango Hill Progress Association (MHPA) began its campaign for a second exit from the village back in 2013. The association’s president, Laurence Christie, stated that this was a milestone for the area that will ensure traffic flow does not become an issue as the community grows.

Mr. Christie expressed the MHPA’s appreciation for the council’s construction team, acknowledging the many challenges they overcame to finalise the work. He also recognised the strong support from Councillor Jodie Shipway, who championed the essential link. As a final touch to the community-led effort, the MHPA is now planning to mark the official placement of a new Mango Hill Village entry sign on Monday.

Affordable Housing Project Commences in Mango Hill

Construction has commenced in Mango Hill on a dedicated affordable housing complex designed for women aged over 55 at risk of homelessness.



Background on Housing Demand in Mango Hill

Women over 55 have been identified as the fastest-growing demographic at risk of homelessness in Australia. In response, a new housing project has been launched in Mango Hill as part of broader efforts to address housing affordability across the City of Moreton Bay.

The sod-turning ceremony took place on 22 July 2025, formally marking the beginning of works on the new complex. The project is being delivered through a partnership between the State and Y-Care, with local authorities’ support.

Details of the Development

The development is being constructed on Linear Drive in Mango Hill and will consist of 47 single-bedroom units. It will include shared community areas and provide on-site support services for residents.

The units are being constructed to meet the Social Housing Design Guidelines, ensuring accessibility for older residents and people living with disabilities.

Construction is expected to be completed by late 2026.

Financial Support and Approvals

The City of Moreton Bay is waiving nearly $700,000 in infrastructure charges and development application fees to support the project. A recent development application was lodged for minor changes to the approved plans.

These waived fees are part of broader local initiatives introduced since March 2023, aimed at attracting more social housing developments.

Broader Regional Context

This project forms part of a wider pipeline of more than 670 social and affordable homes that are either under construction or under contract across the Moreton Bay region.

Other projects are underway in Redcliffe and Deception Bay, including a First Nations-led housing initiative.

Community Perspective

The project was described by involved organisations as a necessary step in providing older women with secure, long-term housing options. Stakeholders at the sod-turning event highlighted the importance of wraparound services and community infrastructure in ensuring stability and connection for residents.

What’s Next



The Mango Hill housing complex is expected to be delivered by late 2026. It is one of several ongoing developments addressing homelessness and housing affordability in Moreton Bay, with further projects under assessment.

  • Mulligan Crescent Park (Elimbah)
  • Trinity Way Park (Morayfield)
  • Cash Street Park (D’Aguilar).

What Happens Next?

Before any parks are built, the Council will check each site carefully. They will make sure it meets Council rules and talk to people in the local area. This ensures the parks are good for everyone and don’t harm the environment.



Pet Owners: Remember to Register Your Pets

Council also wants to remind people to register their pets. It’s important to keep your pet’s details up to date. This includes your address, phone number, and whether your pet has been desexed, rehomed, or died. You can get your renewal notices by email. Pensioners can get a discount on pet registration. You can register and update your details on Council’s website: moretonbay.qld.gov.au/animals

Keeping Pets Safe

Council has some tips for keeping your pets safe:

  • Register your pet: All cats and dogs must be registered within 14 days of moving to Moreton Bay or by 12 weeks of age.
  • Microchipping: Cats and dogs aged between 8 and 12 weeks must be microchipped.
  • Identification: Pets must wear a tag with your contact details when they leave home.
  • Secure your yard: Make sure your yard is secure so your pet can’t escape.
  • Desex your pet: Desexing can improve your pet’s health and behaviour. Council offers cheaper registration for desexed pets.

Mango Hill Urban Village to Bring 23 Towers and Thousands of Homes to North Lakes

A major transformation is on the horizon for Mango Hill as the Pace family, who have transitioned to property development, lodges plans for a 10.4-hectare urban precinct featuring 23 towers and over 2,300 apartments.



The proposal (DA/2025/1375) envisions a dense, transit-oriented urban village at 1785–1813 Anzac Avenue, directly linked to Mango Hill train station and Westfield North Lakes.

From Egg Producers to City Builders

Pace Farm, formerly Australia’s second-largest egg producer based in Sydney, was sold to investment firm Roc Partners in 2023 for approximately $350 million. The Mango Hill site, once a pine plantation cleared in the 1990s, forms part of the Mango Hill Infrastructure Development Control Plan (DCP), adopted in 2011, which earmarked the area for intensive urbanisation with up to 25,000 new homes.

The family’s latest move reflects a broader national trend—repurposing strategic inner-suburban sites into high-density, mixed-use communities.

Photo Credit: DA/2025/1375

The project is set to function as a major employment hub and catalyst for regional economic growth by combining residential and commercial components within the towers.

Project Snapshot

  • Developer: The Pace family (former owners of Pace Farm)/Mango Hill Property Pty Ltd
  • Architect: Archipelago
  • Towers: 23 (ranging from 8 to 30 storeys)
  • Residential Units: 2,329 apartments
  • Commercial Space: 118,023 sqm
  • Retail & Dining: 6,600 sqm
  • Green Space: 1.23 hectares including pedestrian corridors
  • Job Creation: Estimated 12,000

Planning History and Evolution

An earlier version of the plan, approved in 2018, included 13 towers and 715 dwellings. The current proposal more than triples residential capacity, in line with upgraded transport connectivity and regional growth targets.

Located just 400 metres from the Mango Hill train station, the proposal integrates a “green spine” pedestrian and cycling network that will link key commercial, retail and residential zones. The project also includes intersection upgrades and improved public access to Anzac Avenue.

Environment and Community

While 14 trees—including 11 mango trees—are slated for removal to facilitate road upgrades, the developer has pledged comprehensive landscaping and replanting efforts across more than 12,000 square metres of open space.

Community consultation is expected to begin mid-year, with stakeholders calling for a balance between growth and livability.

Urban planning experts say the Mango Hill proposal mirrors other successful mixed-use hubs across southeast Queensland, such as Springfield and Coomera.

What Happens Next

Moreton Bay’s population has surged in recent years, and Council predicts the area will need thousands of new homes. The urban village aims to ease pressure by placing high-density housing close to trains, shops and jobs, aligning with a long-term plan set in 2011.

The application is under review by Moreton Bay Regional Council. If approved, the village could house 5,000 people and help locals stay closer to home for work and services.

Interns Find Their Footing at Unitywater Mango Hill

At Unitywater’s Mango Hill office, Alexandra Meaney sat at her desk, reflecting on how much had changed in just three months. Fresh out of university with a Bachelor of Business majoring in Human Resources, she had stepped into Unitywater’s Vacation Work Program with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. Now, as the internship wrapped up, she wasn’t just walking away with experience—she had landed a permanent job.



She wasn’t alone. Ten interns, including Ms Meaney, had been offered ongoing employment after completing the program. For many, it was their first real step into the workforce, a transition made smoother by an environment that offered both responsibility and support.

“This program is a great pathway into the workplace – you’re given a lot of responsibility and treated as an equal member of the team, but with a lot of support, trust and encouragement,” Ms Meaney said.

“Everyone’s been so lovely and welcoming – even little things like figuring out the systems, finding a desk or a meeting room – you feel completely supported.”

An Opportunity to Gain More Than Just Experience

For years, young professionals have faced the same challenge: breaking into the job market without prior experience. Unitywater’s Vacation Work Program was created to bridge that gap, offering university students a paid, real-world job experience. This year, 17 students took part, working across disciplines like engineering, science, ICT, communications, and analytics.

Unitywater’s Executive Manager of People, Culture and Safety, Kenan Hibberd, said the program has been running for 12 years, providing a stepping stone for students ready to move from study into the workforce. He said it’s also an opportunity to attract local talent into the water industry—an industry that many might not have previously considered.

For some interns, the program became more than just a stepping stone. Jordan Nicholson, a former participant from last year, had been in the same position as Ms Meaney, weighing his next move just before finishing his Bachelor of Science. The internship gave him something that other entry-level jobs often lacked—paid industry experience. Now, he works as a full-time Laboratory Assistant.

“I was just one month away from finishing my Bachelor of Science and starting to explore entry-level positions in the area, most of which required experience, or were not paid opportunities,” Mr Nicholson said.

“Unitywater’s Vacation Work Program was a fantastic opportunity as it provided me with industry experience while being paid to work four full days a week – it really gave me that point of difference looking for my first out-of-uni job.”

More Doors Opening for Young Professionals

Unitywater isn’t stopping at internships. The company also runs a Graduate Development Program, a two-year transition into the workplace for university graduates. This month, eight new participants will join the program.

Beyond that, there are apprenticeships and the Water Industry Work Program opportunities, creating more entry points for those looking to start their careers.

Investing in the Future of the Community

Unitywater isn’t just about water—it’s about people. The organisation provides water and wastewater services to more than 800,000 residents across Moreton Bay, Sunshine Coast, and Noosa, and it is investing $1.8 billion over the next five years to ensure sustainable growth.

For Ms Meaney and her fellow interns, the journey from university to employment was made easier through a supportive program that values fresh talent. For others considering their career options, Unitywater’s early career programs continue to offer a pathway into the workforce—one that doesn’t just promise experience, but a future.
