Corridor re-protection

The Caboolture to Maroochydore Corridor Study (CAMCOS) corridor was preserved (protected from development) for a single track in 2001.

The corridor will be re-protected to Maroochydore, for a dual track designed to modern rail standards, as part of Stage 1.

TMR will liaise with impacted property owners in 2024 as part of this process.

Preliminary works

Preliminary works for Stage 1 are underway. Preliminary works inform development of the reference design and the environmental referral. This includes:

  • geotechnical investigations between Beerwah and Birtinya
  • additional site survey
  • public utility investigations and design
  • flora and fauna mapping
  • cultural heritage and environmental investigations
  • groundwater monitoring and contaminated land testing, to ensure environmental impacts are properly assessed.

Other early works for Stage 1 construction are anticipated to start following environmental approvals.

  • Project Assessment Framework

    TMR uses Queensland Treasury's Project Assessment Framework to assess projects at critical stages. From the initial assessment of the service required, through to business case and delivery, a project's progress and quality is assessed via a series of reviews by independent tehnical experts from across Australia to ensure it meets strategic objectives and achieves value for money.

  • SEQ Rail Connect

    The Direct Sunshine Coast Rail Line project is guided by long-term planning for South East Queensland.

    TMR has a blueprint, SEQ Rail Connect, for shaping the rail network to meet the future needs of the growing South East Queensland region. This blueprint outlines how TMR are preparing the network to be ready for Cross River Rail, which will transform the way our rail network operates and how customers travel by train in SEQ. The Direct Sunshine Coast Rail Line is identified as a key initiative.
