North Coast Rail Line between Beerburrum and Nambour $2 billion
- Stage 1 (Beerwah to Landsborough) – estimated to cost approximately $500 million.
- Stage 2 (Landsborough to Nambour) – estimated to cost approximately $1.5 billion.
The duplication and upgrade of the North Coast Rail Line between Beerburrum and Nambour has been sought for many years to improve the reliability, speed and accessibility of rail freight operations and passenger transport services. Freight operations are severely constrained in this section of the North Coast line due to conflict with passenger services and poor track alignment.
The commitment sought is to prioritise the $2 billion upgrade of the North Coast Rail Line Corridor and fully fund - or investigate co-funding in conjunction with the Australian Rail Track Corporation – with a proposed delivery timetable of 2015 - 2020.

State Government consideration to future funding of infrastructure priorities:
• Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 2 $600-700 million
The northern connection would deliver significant gains to the overall transport network, particularly if timing can be achieved for the link to be open prior to the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games™. Planning work undertaken by the State Government and Council (CHARTS study) identified that the priority for the next stage is a connection from the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct to heavy rail.

Manly to Cleveland Rail Duplication $180 million
The duplication of the rail line between Manly and Cleveland will allow more frequent rail services to Brisbane CBD and the airport.

• Darra to Springfield Rail Extension to Redbank Plains $180 million
Stage 2 of the Darra to Springfield Rail Corridor (Richlands to Springfield) will increase public transport in the western corridor and reduce the number of vehicles on the Centenary Highway. Extending the rail line through to Redbank Plains will further improve accessibility to public transport for significant urban growth areas.

Gowrie to Grandchester Rail Line $1.3 million
The construction of a 67 kilometre rail alignment for the Toowoomba and Little Liverpool ranges will overcome current constraints on rail capacity. It will support the volume of export commodities railed between south-western and western Queensland and the Port of Brisbane.

Sunshine Coast High Quality Bus Corridor
$350 million
The Sunshine Coast High Quality Bus Corridor would provide a priority bus spine between Caloundra and Maroochydore and include priority lanes, bus stations in key activity areas, bus stop upgrades, bus queue bypasses and on-road cycle lanes where practical. This project will deliver improvements in the frequency, reliability, safety and convenience of public transport and is projected to reduce bus travel times by up to 13 minutes between Maroochydore and Caloundra.
