Preferred rail contractor to be appointed

THE Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has stated that only minor closures are expected at Beerwah station during construction of The Wave’s Beerwah to Caloundra rail line construction.

A TMR spokesperson said closures will be “carefully scheduled” to reduce disruption to commuters and the local community, with alternative travel options provided.

Station closures are a routine part of delivering projects of this scale, and residents will be informed in advance, they said.

TMR is also planning pop-up sessions and other local engagement opportunities over the coming months to maintain face-to-face contact with the Beerwah community.

The Wave is currently in the procurement phase, with shortlisted proponents developing station precinct designs. A preferred contractor is expected to be appointed by mid-2026.

Track works will be coordinated with the B2N Stage 1 project to minimise broader rail impacts.
