The Sunshine Coast will be connected with seamless public transport from Beerwah through to the Sunshine Coast Airport, with a major new rail and metro connection, The Wave.

Unveiled as part of the 2032 Delivery Plan, The Wave is just one of the major infrastructure legacy projects for the Sunshine Coast, and extends on the Queensland Government’s promise to deliver a connection to Maroochydore.

The Wave will roll through the Sunshine Coast, with heavy passenger rail from Beerwah to Birtinya, then metro to the Sunshine Coast Airport with stations at Mountain Creek and Maroochydore.

Passengers will be able to ride The Wave, with seamless transitions between stations.

Metro infrastructure will be constructed from the Birtinya station to Maroochydore station, delivering the long-awaited Mooloolah River Interchange.

The Queensland Government will build the Interchange as a priority to remove congestion and allow The Wave to carry commuters without delay.

Premier Crisafulli said The Wave would keep the Sunshine Coast moving, now and beyond 2032.

“The Games are a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver the infrastructure the Sunshine Coast needs, not only today, but in the decades to come,” said Premier Crisafulli.

“The Wave will go further and faster, with seamless public transport all the way to the Sunshine Coast Airport, and connect to the Athlete Village built for the Games. 

“This is exactly what is needed for 2032, but more importantly, it is necessary for the future of the Sunshine Coast beyond the Games.”
