Location:

Moreton Bay (Petrie to Kippa-Ring with new stations at Kallangur, Murrumba Downs, Mango Hill, Rothwell and Kippa-Ring)

Benefits:

The Moreton Bay Rail Link will:

  • provide a more reliable, economical, and faster alternative to driving to Brisbane’s Central Business District during peak periods
  • help reduce congestion on the road network, including the Bruce Highway, and free up capacity for journeys that can’t be made using public transport 
  • provide sustainable and active transport options that reduce carbon emissions — every full train on the new line will take about 600 cars off the road
  • provide better access to major employment centres both within and outside the Moreton Bay region
  • help attract investment to the area and create business opportunities
  • act as a catalyst for growth along the alignment, with stations becoming hubs of new development in the region.
Regions:
North Coast Region
