Work has begun on the Broadbeach-to-Mermaid Beach section of the Gold Coast light-rail network. The $1.2-billion stage 3 extension of the network will add 6.7km and create eight stations.
When the stage is completed in 2025, the network, which is jointly funded by federal, state and local governments, will comprise 27km of track, from the Helensvale heavy-rail-connection station to Mermaid Beach.
