History
{{main|Burpengary, Queensland#History|Morayfield, Queensland#History|Caboolture, Queensland#History|Bruce Highway#Upgrades}}
Burpengary was first settled by Europeans in the 1870s, and the first industry was mainly timber-cutting.{{cite web |url=https://www.queenslandplaces.com.au/burpengary |title=Burpengary |publisher=The University of Queensland |date=2011 |access-date=8 October 2022}}
In 1868 a sugar plantation was established in what is now Morayfield.{{cite QPN|22786|Morayfield|town in Moreton Bay Region|access-date=8 October 2022}}
The Caboolture area was colonised by European people in 1842 when the land around the Moreton Bay penal colony was opened up to free settlers. By the mid-1860s farms had been established and the local pastoralists were experimenting with sugar cane and cotton.{{cite web |url=https://www.aussietowns.com.au/town/caboolture-qld |title=Caboolture, Queensland |publisher=Aussie Towns |date=2021 |access-date=8 October 2022}}
This road, including a bridge over the Caboolture River, existed as Morayfield Road (also Gympie Road) in 1901.{{cite web |url=https://ourstory.moretonbay.qld.gov.au/nodes/view/30499 |title=Morayfield Road Caboolture in 1901 |publisher=Moreton Bay Region Libraries |date=2022 |access-date=9 October 2022}} It was part of the Bruce Highway when it was declared in 1934,{{cite web |url=https://www.expressway.online/gallery/roads/qld/numbered/decommissioned/nationalhighways/nh1/index.html |title=Bruce Highway |publisher=Expressway |date=2021 |access-date=10 October 2022}} and remained so until August 1966, when the Caboolture Bypass Stage 1 was completed between Burpengary Creek and Bribie Island Road.Department of Main Roads Annual Report 1966-1967
Future usage
Land several kilometres to the west of the road is the site of a new regional city to be known as Caboolture West. It is planned that, over the next 40 years, it will grow to accommodate 30,000 new homes with a population of 70,000.{{cite web |url=https://www.statedevelopment.qld.gov.au/planning/growth-areas/caboolture-west |title=Caboolture West |publisher=Queensland Government |date=27 July 2022 |access-date=14 August 2022}} It is expected that this development will result in increased traffic on Morayfield Road, as well as other roads in the area. Southbound traffic will continue to increase until completion of Stage 3 of the Bruce Highway Western Alternative.
Prior to the 2022 Federal election the then Coalition Government promised to commit $100 million to build a new road from the Caboolture River Road intersection to Buchanan Road, with a bridge over the railway line.{{cite web |url=https://www.terryyoung.com.au/100-million-to-upgrade-buchanan-road-at-morayfield/ |title=$100 million to upgrade Buchanan Road at Morayfield |publisher=Terry Young MP |date=17 May 2022 |access-date=10 October 2022}} If built, it is expected that this would take a substantial amount of northbound traffic off Morayfield Road.
