BRISBANE - Changes to toll prices


On 1 July 2010, toll prices, fees and vehicle classes  changed on the Gateway, Logan and Gateway Extension motorways.

Tolls changed in accordance with the Government’s decision to introduce a new tolling structure for the motorways to facilitate a major upgrade of the southern end of the Gateway Motorway and a new, toll-free Port of Brisbane Motorway as announced by the Treasurer on 18 March 2010.

New toll prices from 1 July 2010

Toll point name  is followed by the prices for the following 4 classes;  Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 Class 4

Murarrie  $1.93 $3.85 $5.78 $10.20

Kuraby $1.14 $2.27 $3.41 $6.02

Loganlea $0.73 $1.46 $2.19 $3.87

Heathwood/Paradise Road $1.20 $2.40 $3.60 $6.36

From 1 July new vehicle classes will also be introduced to bring Queensland Motorways in line with other toll road operators in Queensland.
