Edinburgh Minister for Transport and Main Roads and Minister for Digital ServicesThe Honourable Bart Mellish Project flythrough The Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail (LGC) Project is taking a major step forward with major contractors shortlisted for three individual packages of work: the major contractors will put forward their proposals for the individual project packages The successful companies to deliver the works will be announced later this year The announcement follows a year of significant progress including refining the reference design extensive survey and geotechnical investigation works and community engagement The Government is also working towards important final environmental approvals from the Federal Government Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail will remove five level crossings improving journey times and safety for road and rail users This includes building three road-over-rail overpasses and removing two level crossings while upgrading intersections and improving the local road network The project will also deliver modern and accessible stations between Kuraby and Beenleigh which will provide improved access to the train network for all Logan residents the 20km section of rail line between Kuraby and Beenleigh (the Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project corridor) is the next critical bottleneck to unlock to provide capacity for more frequent rail services in the future Increasing the number of tracks from two to four and allowing the free movement of both all-stops and express trains will mean more of our fastest services can run more frequently and more reliably.  This will allow public transport users to arrive at modern and accessible stations and spend less time waiting on the platform for a service to arrive which means easier connections to the rest of South East Queensland through the existing rail network as well as the new services to be delivered through Cross River Rail and the Direct Sunshine Coast Line The LGC Rail package will deliver the major rail works between Kuraby and Beenleigh including duplicating the tracks from two to four local road works and active transport connections The design and construction of this complex brownfield project will be delivered through an alliance contract The Loganlea Station project will relocate and upgrade Loganlea train station to better connect customers with nearby health and community services – particularly Logan Hospital.  The Loganlea Station Project is costed at $173.8 million The broader Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project is jointly-funded by the Queensland and Australian governments with a 50-50 commitment towards the project cost of $5.75 billion Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail is one of several large investments in the rail network well underway along with Cross River Rail the Beerburrum to Nambour Rail Upgrade (B2N) the European Train Control System (ETCS) and the Queensland Train Manufacturing Program (QTMP) which will build 65 new fully-accessible trains at Torbanlea to run on the South East Queensland train network.  These projects will play an important role during the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games while delivering improvements for everyday Queenslanders by providing more frequent and reliable services around South East Queensland Quotes attributable to Minister for Transport Main Roads and Digital Services Bart Mellish: “Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail is a critical project that will allow more of our fastest trains to run more often.  “Shortlisting proponents to deliver these works is an important and exciting step towards a major upgrade on our South East Queensland rail network all of these projects will help to connect our growing communities with more frequent and reliable train services between Brisbane “The additional tracks will also mean more services can run modern and accessible train stations and spend less time waiting on the platform for a train to arrive.” Minister for Trade and Investment and State Member for Woodridge Cameron Dick: “It is good to see this project is proceeding “David Crisafulli will cut this project to direct funds towards his unfunded Sunshine Coast rail line to Maroochydore “I will always fight to stop LNP cuts and ensure our community gets its proper share of infrastructure funding.” Minister for Health and Ambulance Services and Member for Waterford: “Our growing community need more train services station upgrades and active transport connections and that’s exactly what our government is delivering “The Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project means less time commuting and more time with family “I’m thrilled we’ve now reached this significant milestone and look forward to seeing what those who’ve been shortlisted come up with for this game changing project.” “The Miles Government has a great track record delivering public transport projects for the people of South East Queensland that reduce the amount of time spent commuting “This is great news for my community and I welcome today’s announcement that will see successful contractors confirmed by the end of the year.” “The Miles Government’s rail revolution is well underway in South East Queensland and the people of Stretton will benefit from more frequent trains and less time spent commuting this is a great project that will make a big difference to my community.” “I’m thrilled that this vital upgrade is progressing My community and I are pleased as we are one step closer to removing the Kuraby level crossing.” Further information
