Central Gold Coast East-West Passenger Transport Study
Together with the Gold Coast City Council, we are working on the Central Gold Coast East-West Passenger Transport Study.
This technical study will make recommendations for the development of the future strategic public transport network in the central Gold Coast area over the next 25 years. The study will also draw from and build on previous community feedback and planning conducted by us and Gold Coast City Council.
Benefits
- Improves network efficiency
- Increases capacity
- Contributes to regional growth
- Better active transport
Key features
- Identify preferred routes for high frequency east-west public transport services in the central Gold Coast area, focusing on connections to and between the heavy and light rail lines.
- Provide strategic guidance for public transport and land use planning in the central Gold Coast and adjacent areas.
Funding
The study is jointly funded by the Queensland Government and the Gold Coast City Council.
Study area
The study area includes the central Gold Coast, with the Nerang River and Tallebudgera Creek as the northern and southern boundaries, and the ocean as the eastern boundary. The western boundary includes residential areas just west of the Pacific Motorway (M1).

Current status
The initial phase of the study has developed the Central Gold Coast Passenger Transport System Strategy. This strategy provides the basis for and informs the next phases of the study in the development of the future passenger transport network.
Assessment of the preferred corridors and precincts for future high frequency east-west public transport services is currently being undertaken. The 5 corridors being investigated include:
- Nerang to Broadbeach
- Merrimac to Mermaid Beach
- Robina to Broadbeach
- Robina to Miami
- Robina to Burleigh.
