Freshwater Village Project Update

Despite challenging wet weather conditions throughout May, construction continues to progress strongly on Brays Road and across all areas at Freshwater Village.

Key milestones achieved this month include:

✔ Significant progress with the installation of the new water main on Brays Road
✔ The Woolworths roofing installation is nearing completion
✔ Multiple concrete slab pours and polished concrete works
✔ Continued framing, formwork, and loading dock preparation
✔ Advancement of hydraulic, fire, electrical, mechanical, and refrigeration services
✔ Ongoing civil infrastructure, drainage, and trenching works
Our project teams successfully managed weather-related disruptions through proactive planning and work resequencing, maintaining momentum across multiple work fronts.
Looking ahead, June will focus on completing tenancy slabs and foyer works, progressing internal services, continuing civil infrastructure works, and advancing roofing activities within the dining precinct.

A great effort by all project partners and trades involved as Freshwater Village continues to take shape.

***Brays Road – Emergency Roadworks This Weekend***

The City of Moreton Bay has approved contractors working on the Brays Road upgrade between the Brays Road bridge and Tesch Road to carry out emergency repair works this weekend.

Works will take place from 7:00am to 5:00pm on Saturday, 16 May and Sunday, 17 May 2026.

To complete these repairs, traffic control will be in place on the newly constructed section of road. Contraflow traffic arrangements will be manually managed throughout the works to minimise delays and keep traffic queues to a minimum.

The emergency repairs are necessary to allow the installation of an additional layer of asphalt across the remaining eastbound and westbound lanes.

We acknowledge these works may cause inconvenience to motorists and nearby residents. However, due to the deteriorating road surface and the potential risk of injury or property damage, it is necessary that these repairs be carried out immediately.

Emergency Pothole Repairs to Protect Motorist Safety

Emergency pothole repairs were carried out this morning to ensure the safety of all road users. We understand these works caused significant traffic disruptions, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience to motorists.

See Civil made every effort to complete the repairs before peak-hour traffic commenced. However, ongoing rain, combined with some motorists travelling through the work zone above the posted speed limit, damaged the temporary road surface and resulted in rapid pothole deterioration.

The potholes developed to a point where the road was considered unsafe, with concerns raised about the potential for vehicle damage and accidents. Safety must always remain the top priority.

Crews worked throughout the night in difficult weather conditions to address the issue. Unfortunately, the supplier of the required bitumen was unavailable until 7:00AM, delaying final repair works.

We kindly ask all motorists to observe posted speed limits and signage when travelling through roadwork areas. Doing so helps protect the road surface and ensures the safety of both workers and road users.

See Civil has worked closely with Council to implement a more durable solution to reduce severe potholing, with these works being completed today. All lanes in both directions are expected to fully reopen by 2:30PM this afternoon.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and understanding.

***Important Update: Cairns Road Closure***

We have received feedback from the community regarding the closure of Cairns Road.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the relocation of the water mains at the Cairns Road intersection requires a redesign. As a result, SEE Civil has reduced its on-site presence.

Until the revised design is approved, traffic will continue to operate on the southbound lanes. Unfortunately, construction works cannot proceed until the design has been finalised and materials procured. To minimise the inconvenience of the full closure of Cairns Road, we are delaying the movement of traffic onto the newly constructed northern lanes until water main works can commence.

We appreciate the community’s patience while this matter is being resolved and will continue to provide updates via our enewsletter, social media, and the project website. Please follow these channels to stay informed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
