Robina to Tugun Rail Impact Assessment Study
The Robina to Tugun Rail Impact Assessment Study examined technical, environmental, social and economic aspects and identified a preferred alignment for the rail corridor. The study was undertaken by the Department of Transport and Main Roads in two stages — Part A and Part B.Stage A (Robina Station to Stewart Road) of the study was completed in 2005, and the results of this stage are available in the Stage A Impact Assessment Study.
Stage B of the study covers the section from Stewart Road to Boyd Street.

The Department of Transport and Main Roads recently finalised Part B of the Robina to Tugun Impact Assessment Study as part of the proposed rail extension to Coolangatta. The study investigated the technical elements of the rail corridor from Stewart Road, Tugun to the Gold Coast Airport.
This corridor alignment had been previously identified in the Tugun Bypass study undertaken by the department and is included in the Integrated Development Assessment System (IDAS) mapping.
The rail line to Coolangatta is identified in the South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Program 2008-2026 as being delivered by 2026. A more detailed study of the corridor alignment, including public consultation, will be undertaken at a time closer to construction of the project.
Study updates will be made available via this web page.
