Queensland Toll Prices From 1 July 2027: What We Know So Far
Queensland motorists should prepare for the next scheduled adjustment to most toll prices on 1 July 2027.
Linkt’s published pricing method states that most Queensland toll prices are adjusted on 1 July each year in line with the annual Brisbane Consumer Price Index.
The exact 2027 prices have not yet been published. This article explains what is already known, which toll roads are affected and what motorists should watch for as 1 July 2027 approaches.
This page will be updated when the official 2027 toll price schedule is released.
Are Queensland toll prices definitely increasing on 1 July 2027?
The annual adjustment process is confirmed, but the exact 2027 increase is not yet known.
According to Linkt’s Queensland toll pricing information, AirportlinkM7 tolls are adjusted on 1 January each year. All other Queensland toll prices are adjusted on 1 July in line with annual Brisbane CPI.
Unless the existing arrangements change, the next scheduled adjustment for those roads will take effect on 1 July 2027.
What has not been published is the percentage increase or the new price at each toll point. Those figures will depend on the applicable CPI calculation and the official rates issued closer to the date.
We are not going to guess those figures or present estimates as confirmed prices.
Which Queensland toll roads are affected?
The 1 July adjustment generally applies to the following Queensland toll roads:
Gateway Motorway
Logan Motorway
Clem7
Legacy Way
Go Between Bridge
Toowoomba Bypass
This includes toll points such as Murarrie, Kuraby, Compton Road, Loganlea, Heathwood and Paradise Road.
AirportlinkM7 operates on a different timetable. Its toll prices are adjusted on 1 January rather than 1 July.
You can find an overview of the different roads and toll points in our Queensland toll roads guide.
How much will Queensland tolls rise in 2027?
As at 24 September 2026, an official July 2027 toll price list has not been published.
The safest answer is that we do not know the exact amount yet.
The increase is linked to annual Brisbane CPI, but that does not mean motorists should rely on a general inflation forecast to calculate their future tolls. The final amounts can also be affected by the way prices are calculated and rounded under the relevant tolling arrangements.
When the official figures are released, motorists should check the price for their vehicle class and the individual toll points they use.
For the rates currently in effect, see our Queensland toll prices 2026 guide or check the official Linkt toll pricing page.
Why are Queensland toll prices adjusted every year?
The published explanation is that most Queensland toll prices are adjusted using the annual Brisbane Consumer Price Index.
CPI measures changes in the price of a basket of goods and services over time. In tolling arrangements, it is commonly used as an indexation mechanism that allows charges to rise without a new public decision being made about every individual toll price.
That does not mean the effect is insignificant.
A small increase at one toll point may not look substantial. For someone using a toll road twice a day, several days each week, those small annual increases accumulate.
Drivers travelling through multiple toll points can experience the increase more than once during a single journey.
Could Linkt fees also increase on 1 July 2027?
Possibly.
Linkt states that Queensland toll prices and fees are adjusted on 1 July each year in line with annual Brisbane CPI.
These fees can include:
Video matching fees
Toll invoice administration charges
Demand notice administration charges
Requested statement fees
Tag replacement or non-return fees
Not every fee necessarily changes by the same amount, and the official 2027 schedule will need to be checked when it is released.
This matters because an unpaid toll can become much more expensive after administration charges are added.

Why another toll increase matters
The issue is not simply whether an individual toll rises by a few cents.
Queensland motorists are dealing with a system in which prices can increase repeatedly over many years. Regular commuters may have little practical choice if the toll road is the only reasonable route between their home and workplace.
The total cost is also not limited to the toll itself. Motorists without a working tag, valid account or correctly registered vehicle can incur additional fees.
These charges can escalate further when a toll invoice is not dealt with promptly.
Annual indexation may be written into the existing arrangements, but motorists are still entitled to ask:
How long will the toll continue?
How much will regular users pay over the life of the road?
What happens to toll revenue after construction costs have been recovered?
Are the indexation arrangements fair and transparent?
Is there a realistic alternative route for motorists who cannot afford the toll?
These are reasonable questions about essential transport infrastructure.
What motorists should do before 1 July 2027
There is no need to take action immediately, but regular toll road users should prepare before the new prices take effect.
Check that the correct vehicle and registration number are attached to your toll account.
Make sure your tag is installed correctly and working. A missing or undetected tag can result in a video matching fee.
Review your account balance and automatic payment details so that a failed payment does not lead to further charges.
Once the new prices are published, use the official Queensland toll calculator to estimate the cost of your regular trips.
If you receive a toll invoice or demand notice, do not ignore it. Check the dates, vehicle details, toll point and administration charges promptly.

The Robin Hood Tech position
Motorists deserve more than an annual price list.
They deserve clear notice of every increase, a plain-language explanation of how it was calculated and an honest account of the total cost of using these roads over time.
Indexation should not place toll prices beyond meaningful public scrutiny.
Queenslanders should also be able to see when each toll is intended to end, how the arrangements have changed and who benefits financially from continued toll collection.
Robin Hood Tech will update this article when the official July 2027 prices are published.
