Business owners say they are facing significant financial losses as a council road upgrade running a year behind schedule forces complicated traffic detours.

The road is fenced off for several kilometres, funnelling cars in different directions through various detours. The 57-year-old law stipulates that councils are not legally obliged to compensate home owners or businesses unless they are on compulsorily acquired land. "We are committed to keeping Brisbane moving and the Moggill Road Corridor Upgrade Project is the biggest congestion-busting project we're delivering right now," Councillor Wines said.
They said the project now cost $257 million as the cost of bitumen had increased by more than 50 per cent, steel beams by 90 per cent, and construction labour by 60 per cent.Roy Meng says he often apologises to his children for being unable to spend time with them.NightOwl franchisee Roy Meng said he was forced to withdraw his two children from private school because he could no longer afford the tuition.
