Projects
QLD Regular Closures Sheet
The QLD Regular Closures Sheet is a Google Sheet containing information about and permalinks for closures that regularly occur in Queensland, Australia. Examples include stadium matches, motorway tunnel maintenance, and markets. Initially, the sheet was created for the Brisbane area but later expanded to include the Gold Coast.
The 1st August 2022 saw reivaxX162 become a regular contributor to the project with his addition of market closures and accessibility improvements.
On the 23rd April 2023, the sheet was renamed from South East QLD Regular Closures to just QLD Regular Closures to reflect its new purpose of containing closure information for the entire state. At the same time, significant annual road closure events were added to the sheet such as ANZAC Day.
