Sunshine Coast Light Rail – Imagine a fast, frequent, high-quality light rail service along the Sunshine Coast!
Council is undertaking a feasibility study for a light rail system between Maroochydore and Caloundra. Eventually the system could link most major destinations and attractions along the coast and connect with buses and trains.

Light Rail – a recognised game changer
Light Rail has been named one of five major game-changing projects spearheading council’s plans to sustain the coast’s prosperity, lifestyle and natural assets into the future.
The project will:
• Create 9000 jobs directly and indirectly during construction and operation
• Reduce reliance on car travel and traffic congestion
• Potentially cut pollution by reducing fossil fuel use
• Inject $3.6 billion in benefits back into the regional economy.
The focus of the light rail project is the provision of reliable, frequent and affordable public transport services, but brings with it a range of other positive spin-offs that will enhance our community connections, business activity, lifestyle and the environment.
It is a long-term project still subject to further feasibility studies. However, if it proves the right solution for the Coast, then the first stage could be delivered by 2025 subject to approvals and funding

International Submarine Broadband Cable
Sunshine Coast Council is shaping a future where a faster, more reliable and affordable broadband network will be available to Australia’s eastern seaboard having facilitated the delivery of its plans to link the region directly to global communications systems in Asia, the Pacific and the United State.
Queensland’s first direct international data and telecommunications connection to global markets is now in service.
Now that the network has been installed the Sunshine Coast provides the fastest international connection point from Queensland and east Australia to Asia, a significant step-change in the Sunshine Coast’s attractiveness as an investment location.

Council has had the impact of the proposal independently modelled by the AEC group. The modelling forecasts that delivering an international submarine broadband cable connection to the Sunshine Coast will generate an additional $700 million to the Sunshine Coast economy every year and $1.1 billion annually to the State’s economy.
At the time of the submission the then Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull had identified Sydney as a vulnerable single-point-of-failure for Australia – with too many cables located in the same pathway and going to the same access points. While a new submarine cable brought ashore on the Sunshine Coast would provide faster, more reliable and affordable broadband connectivity for Queensland, it would also provide redundancy for the whole east coast of Australia in accessing the internet and the broader telecommunications market, in the event the cables connecting Sydney are damaged or disrupted.
The sitting Premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk also confirmed that the Sunshine Coast will be the only regional centre in Australia able to offer direct international broadband connectivity to global markets. Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the initiative was an outstanding win for the region and the benefits extended far beyond just improved connectivity.
