The Gold Coast’s Rapid Transport System is another step closer, with Transport Minister Anthony Albanese reinforcing the Federal Government’s commitment to the project.

This move has seen over $110m worth of roadworks contract go out to tender, and added further credibility to the project’s 2014 completion date.  Within it’s first decade of operation, the new light rail system is planned to generate around 6300 jobs (directly and indirectly) as well as cutting the Gold Coast’s greenhouse gas emissions by over 110,000 tonnes.
