Parking

As major construction progresses, on-street parking along the Gold Coast Highway between Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads will need to be removed.

Limited kerbside parking will be retained where possible and where space permits. Where the Gold Coast Highway is too narrow to accommodate the light rail tracks, stations and vehicle traffic lanes, some on-street parking will need to be removed.

This map highlights where parking will be retained at project completion based on the project’s current designs along the Gold Coast Highway.
