Find documents relevant to the mass transit project.

Please note: The Sunshine Coast Mass Transit project was previously known as the light rail project during the pre-feasibility and feasibility processes undertaken by council in the last decade.

These early feasibility processes assessed the various mass transit options available at that time and the concluded that light rail would be the preferable option.

When the Business Case process commenced in 2018 the scope of the project was recast to consider a wider range of options, including other mass transit technologies. The references to “light rail” in documents such as the Integrated Transport Strategy are therefore a legacy of the background that informed those documents, rather than any indication that the council still favours light rail.

The endorsed Options Analysis recommended the following of options to be investigated in the Detailed Business Case:

  • quality bus corridor
  • bus rapid transit
  • trackless tram
  • light rail transit
  • wireless light rail transit.

The Options Analysis also recommended that other emerging mass transit technologies be considered as part of the Detailed Business Case.

The key documents produced since council started investigating mass transit options in 2011 can be found in the table below.
