The ALP has made a major election promise for Logan if it’s re-elected at the end of the month .. record spending on the M1.

A centrepiece of the plan is a $1 billion upgrade of the motorway between Daisy Hill and Logan.

Springwood MP Mick de Brenni said Labor’s fully funded M1 plan was not only good news for motorists but also public transport users too.

“Locals are always telling me they want better public transport in their area and to major hubs in Brisbane and Logan – and we’re delivering,” he said.

“The M1 upgrade between Logan Road and Loganlea Road will extend the busway further south to Logan, including new stations and park n rides.”

Member for Macalister Melissa McMahon said the pledge to continue M1 upgrades and extend public transport options to Loganholme demonstrated Labor’s strong record on transport planning.

“While the M1 is the major highway connecting Brisbane and the Gold Coast, it is also a road my community relies on,” Ms McMahon said.
