Public meeting on future of Beerwah Co-Op

BEERWAH residents and businesses are invited to attend a public meeting on Tuesday, November 25 at 4pm, to hear an update on the future of the Beerwah Co-Op.

The future of the Co-Op, which will mark its 90th birthday next year, has been in question following the release of new maps for the $5.5bn Wave rail project.

The project will require an expansion of the adjacent train station to include new tracks and an island platform.

It comes as a large tract of land south of Kilcoy–Beerwah Road has been identifi ed as a possible site for a new train stabling facility.

The area sits between Steve Irwin Way, the Beerwah Bulldogs home grounds and State High School ovals and could signifi cantly alter the town’s entrance if developed.

A TMR spokesperson said investigations are underway to better understand the facility’s requirements.

“At this early stage, TMR is undertaking investigative works to better understand the requirements for the proposed facility,” the spokesperson said. “These investigations will inform the detailed design, which is scheduled to commence following the appointment of a construction contractor in 2026.”
