Relevant publications Roads in Queensland take many forms, from the busy city street to the bush track and stock route.
Land designated as road is an area set aside for the present or future use of the travelling public.
Some road areas are bitumen surfaced, some are formed by gravel or earth construction and some are indistinguishable from the surrounding land. However, they are all road. Not all land designated as road is currently being used by vehicles or pedestrians. Some land designated as road may never end up being used for that purpose. Road closure under the Land Act is only undertaken as a precursor to the reservation, sale or lease or other disposal of the land.
