BEERWAH residents living near the train station have received letters from the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) advising of upcoming noise monitoring as part of The Wave rail project.
In response to community concern, TMR confirmed noise monitoring is currently underway to develop a “noise model” that will guide the design and construction phases.
“We acknowledge that, as with any major infrastructure project, construction activities will result in some noise impacts in the surrounding area,” the spokesperson said.
“TMR will work closely with the appointed construction contractors to actively manage noise and minimise disruptions. Mitigation measures such as noise barriers and other design features will be considered to minimise impacts to neighbouring communities.”
Construction hours and specific mitigation strategies will be finalised once a contractor is appointed. TMR has committed to providing advanced notice to residents ahead of any works that may affect local areas. Construction of The Wave (Rail) from Beerwah to Birtinya is expected to begin in 2026–27.
