Gold Coast Rapid Transit

Print This Article

GHD assisted Translink and Gold Coast City Council in the preparation of the concept design and Impact Management Plan (CDIMP) for the Gold Coast Rapid Transit Project.

This project involves the concept design for two alternative transit systems for the Gold Coast, a bus rapid system and a light rail system. The system will run between Helensvale and Coolangatta along the eastern Gold Coast Highway route. Construction will proceed in two stages, with the line running to Broadbeach in the first stage.

The concept design and project development has involved significant community consultation, with more than 300,000 local people given the opportunity to comment on and influence the design.

Currently, the business case recommendations are with the Queensland Government for confirmation. Construction of sections two and three are due to commence in 2011.
