#BREAKING: The state government has announced it will not build stage 4 of the Gold Coast light rail to Coolangatta.
Deputy Premier Jarrod Bleijie said from more than 5,600 community consultation submissions that were made, “this independent review revealed that locals want well-connected transport options that integrate into the existing infrastructure without disrupting the unique character of their community.”
The government claims the project would face further time and cost blowouts if it went ahead, with potential costs up to $9.85 billion.
Enhancements to bus services will be rolled out while the Department of Transport and Main Roads will undertake a multi-modal transport study for the Gold Coast region.

This is such a brilliant idea. Whilst we understand there are commercial interests at stake, this should be a periodic promotion for all cities who have trams operating. Superb for the culture of the city!
Well done @Melbourne !!
