Phase 4
Civil works - Rail and stations
Installation of tracks and cabling and construction of stations
Important light rail infrastructure including stations, overhead wires and traction stations are built to power, service and run the light rail.
What happens during this phase?
Rail will be laid in the centre of the Gold Coast Highway and above ground structures including light rail stations will be constructed.
Crews will use concrete boom pumps to install concrete down the centre of the Gold Coast Highway. Crane mounted trucks will install tracks and station infrastructure.
This phase includes night and day works.
Affected residents and businesses will be contacted by the project team prior to work commencing.
What can I expect?
There will be:
- a moderate level of disruption with low to medium noise
- minor traffic impacts with some local detours in place
- permanent changes to on-street parking in some areas
- permanent changes to sight lines from some locations due to new above ground structures (overhead wires, stations) along the centre of the Gold Coast Highway
- two traffic lanes maintained in each direction on the Gold Coast Highway with reduced speed limits in place.
Phase 5
Testing and commissioning
Checking systems and functionality while the finishing touches are completed
In this phase we ensure light rail services and equipment are ready for operation. The test data from this phase also informs future maintenance records and service work.
What happens during this phase?
Empty test trams will run between Broadbeach South and Burleigh Heads to ensure equipment is functional and intercom systems and display screens are correct.
This phase includes night and day works.
Final finishing works including landscaping will take place around the light rail stations and corridor. Once complete, passenger services from Helensvale to Burleigh Heads will commence.
What can I expect?
There will be:
- low levels of disruption
- empty trams running between Broadbeach South and Burleigh Heads stations during the testing phase
- upgrades to existing intersections to allow pedestrians to access the new stations
- permanent changes to on-street parking in some areas
- safety and awareness campaigns to prepare the community for GCLR3
- two traffic lanes maintained in each direction on the Gold Coast Highway with reduced speed limits in place
- passengers service operational from 2025, with eight new light rail stations located at Mermaid Beach, Mermaid Beach South, Nobby Beach, Miami North, Miami, Second Avenue, Christine Avenue and Burleigh Heads.
