The Queensland Government is committed to building back better and ensuring the state-controlled road network is more resilient to future disasters, safeguarding communities and supporting economic recovery.
The resilience of the Bulloo Developmental Road (Cunnamulla – Thargomindah) is being improved by constructing a new bridge on a new alignment over the Paroo River at Eulo.
The extraordinary disaster assistance is being provided through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
Detailed design is underway, with construction expected to commence in 2027, weather and conditions permitting.

The department is working on about 1300 projects to restore roads across Queensland damaged by floods and bushfires. The department is also reconnecting communities and supporting regional economic recovery after disaster events damaged the state-controlled road network in 2020–26.
