THE State Government has briefed the construction industry on its plans for The Wave, a major public transport project designed to transform travel across the Sunshine Coast.
The Wave forms part of the Sunshine Coast’s 2032 Delivery Plan, featuring heavy passenger rail and metro-style services.
Stage 1 includes a 19-kilometre dual-track rail line from Beerwah to Caloundra, with new stations at Bells Creek (Aura) and Caloundra, alongside a major upgrade at Beerwah.
Stage 2 will extend the line seven kilometres from Caloundra to Birtinya, adding stations at Aroona and Birtinya.
The Wave will continue with metro services to Sunshine Coast Airport, stopping at Mountain Creek and Maroochydore.
Transport Minister, Brent Mickelberg, said the project would boost connectivity and create jobs. “The Crisafulli Government is getting on with the job and delivering the infrastructure the Sunshine Coast needs now and into the future,” he said.
