Welcome

Welcome to the Landsborough to Nambour Rail Corridor Study website. The site contains information about the upgrade of the Landsborough to Nambour section of the North Coast Line and will be updated regularly to give you access to the latest information about the progress of the Landsborough to Nambour Rail Corridor Study.

Community provides valuable feedback on township options

Recent consultation on the Landsborough to Nambour Rail Corridor Study has provided significant feedback to the Department of Transport and Main Roads for inclusion in the environmental impact statement.

Comments received include feedback about maintaining the cultural value and character of the rail stations and townships, minimising noise and retaining the visual amenity of the area and reducing disturbance to natural habitat for the Mooloolah River crossing and Dularcha National Park. Other suggestions included re-using rail land not required in the future upgrade and the merits and issues associated with the open level crossings.

The Department of Transport and Main Roads is currently developing solutions to the issues and comments presented. These solutions will form part of the environmental impact statement, which is expected to be released mid-2009.

A public comment period will follow the release of the project’s environmental impact statement and is the next opportunity for the community to provide their comments on the project.
