It was a full house as Queensland’s Minister for Transport and Main Roads the Hon. Brent Mickelberg shared the vision for Sunshine Coast transport infrastructure, with regions business leaders, governments representatives, organisations, and educators.
During the lunch, attendees heard first-hand insights into the State Government’s transport vision for the Sunshine Coast region, with an update on much-needed major infrastructure projects in our region. These include the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games delivery plan for heavy passenger rail from Beerwah to Birtinya, the innovative metro extension to the Sunshine Coast Airport and the long-awaited Mooloolah River Interchange, collectively known as The Wave. The Wave is a game-changing project for South East Queensland and the Sunshine Coast, providing a multi-modal approach to redesigning the public transport network on the Sunshine Coast, and provides the longest extension of the passenger rail in South East Queensland in over 15 years.
Emphasising developing and delivering world-class infrastructure isn’t a solo effort, but about partnerships, by working together with industry, the region will receive the network needed to support the Sunshine Coast community, long after the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games.
SCBC Chair Sandy Zubrinich emphasised the importance of business-friendly regulation and ongoing engagement between policymakers and the private sector, and said she was very pleased to have consistent access to senior regional politicians.
