Contract Awarded to Build Queensland’s Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail Project

CIMIC Group’s CPB Contractors and UGL, as part of the ActivUs Alliance, have been awarded the design and pre-construction contract for the main works package on the Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail project. The team will work alongside ACCIONA, SMEC and WSP in partnership with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads and Queensland Rail to progress design and project planning activities. Delivery of the project will provide more frequent and reliable public transport services to address the high-travel demand between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Works include:

  • Upgrade from two to four rail tracks from Kuraby to Beenleigh, including all civil works and civil structures
  • Accessible station upgrades including park ‘n’ ride, kiss ’n’ ride and bus stop upgrades
  • Removal of level crossings
  • Upgraded rail systems and conventional signaling and enabling works for a European Train Control System
  • Modification of the local road network and improved walking and cycling connections along the 20-kilometer project corridor
  • Integration of the project with adjacent construction packages and into the existing rail network.

The Alliance has commenced the design process, project planning activities and undertaken further site investigations to ensure this key infrastructure investment is completed ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
