About the CTCU

The upgrade is a high priority project for improving access into the Caloundra CBD and surrounding destinations.

The new connection into the Caloundra CBD will reduce traffic congestion at the Caloundra Road/Nicklin Way/Pelican Waters Boulevard roundabout and have flow-on benefits for local roads in Currimundi, Dicky Beach and Moffat Beach.

This project is also consistent with the community’s vision to get people out of cars and into more sustainable modes of transport, including walking and cycling by providing a new separated two-way cycle track and pedestrian pathways.

The new intersection and road corridor is designed to meet forecast traffic demand at opening and over the next 10 years, with infrastructure benefits to cater for our growing population, business and tourism.

The project footprint includes:
  • a new intersection with Nicklin Way by extending Third Avenue
  • active transport underpass for more convenient pedestrian and cyclist movements
  • improved safety and accessibility for pedestrian with:
    • new signalised crossings
    • new pedestrian pathways
    • new dedicated two-way cycle track alongside a low-speed traffic environment
  • new street lighting and landscaping
  • an alternative entry into the Caloundra CBD and reducing congestion at the Caloundra Road/Nicklin Way roundabout.
Project sections

The new transport upgrade is made up of two sections - Section 1 and Section 2.

Section 1 (Omrah Avenue to Arthur Street) will be delivered and funded by Council to meet local growth and community needs. 

Section 2 between Arthur Street and Nicklin Way (referred to as the Nicklin Way, Third Avenue extension) will be delivered and funded by the Department of Transport and Main Roads in partnership with Council. 

Where to from here

Section 1 early works, including the demolition of properties has been completed.

TMR and Sunshine Coast Council finalised design for the CTCU in May 2025 with a call for construction tenders expected in the coming weeks.

Following the appointment of a construction contractor, a more detailed time frame will be shared with our community. Construction is anticipated to begin late 2025.  

The CTCU is a multi-staged project to be delivered over a number of years. 

Council will continue to keep our community informed about the project via regular updates.
