What What Does Road Line Marking Cost in Queensland??
Queensland road marking faces two challenges: intense UV and tropical weather in the north. Materials must handle both, and timing around wet season is critical for regional work.
Queensland road marking runs $1.80-$4.50 per linear metre for paint, $7-$18 per linear metre for thermoplastic. These rates include appropriate UV stabilisation for Queensland conditions.
A Sunshine Coast council asked us to quote 18km of edge lines on rural roads. Paint option: $38,000. Thermoplastic: $95,000. They chose paint but scheduled remarking every 18 months. The annual cost difference was minimal, but paint required more frequent road closures.
We had a weather-related failure on a North Queensland job in 2018. We marked during what we thought was a dry window, but an unexpected storm hit before the paint cured fully. We had to return and remark affected sections at our cost, around $4,200. Now we're much more conservative about weather windows, especially in tropical Queensland.
