To keep a sustainable, liveable Sunshine Coast and support local jobs we need better transport links.
In the first week of Parliament, I reminded the Queensland Government that they need to step up and fund and build the Maroochydore rail, connecting us to Brisbane, which the State Labor Government promised to have finished by 2020!
In August 2005 the State Labor Government announced a $480 million project that gave the โgreen lightโ commitment to establish a high-speed line from Beerwah to Caloundra by 2015, and ๐๐ฝ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฎ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ต๐๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฌ, ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น ๐๐ผ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐๐ป๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐๐.
Furthermore, in 2005 the Labor Government advised that the โ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ด๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ข๐ด๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ด ๐ข ๐ณ๐ข๐ช๐ญ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ณ๐ท๐ช๐ค๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฑ ๐ฑ๐ข๐ค๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ช๐ต๐ฉ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐จ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ต๐ฉ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ท๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ข ๐ด๐ธ๐ช๐ง๐ต, ๐ฆ๐ง๐ง๐ช๐ค๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ฃ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฆโโฆ.
Itโs time for action from this Government on roads and rail, not just bikeways in Brisbane. This CAMCOS rail project, connecting to the main rail line near Beerwah, is not to be confused with Councilโs proposed light rail down Nicklin Way and Alexandra Parade from Caloundra to Maroochydore.
Tell me what your infrastructure priorities are to keep our Sunshine Coast liveable into the future as well as for today.
