You could almost hear the cheers from Broadbeach to Burleigh Heads this morning following the announcement that work will commence immediately on Stage 3A of Gold Coast Light Rail, with the Prime Minister Scott Morrison announcing that the Federal Government would contribute an extra $157 million to secure the trams to Burleigh Heads.

“This investment in Gold Coast Light Rail is a fabulous outcome that will help to bust congestion along this magnificent piece of coastline and ensure easy access for both residents and visitors alike,” Tourism & Transport Forum Chief Executive Margy Osmond said today.

“I applaud both the State and Federal governments for coming together to extend this already popular city-building project.

“The Light Rail extension will not only improve the Gold Coast’s public transport offering, but have positive spin-offs for the local community, economy, environment and tourism,” Ms Osmond said.
