  • Sunshine Coast Line Action Plan
    SUNSHINE COAST LINE ACTION PLAN Submission Description The Sunshine Coast Line (SCL) connects to the Caboolture Line at Caboolture, approximately 50km north of Brisbane, and runs for a further 123km to Gympie North, whereupon it becomes the North Coast Line (NCL). The Caboolture Line consists of four tracks from Roma Street to Northgate and three tracks to Lawnton, from where a double track operates to Caboolture. In the south, the SCL continues as double track to Beerburrum, where it reverts to a single track, with short passing loops at most stations to allow trains travelling in opposite directions to pass each other. Several characteristics make the SCL unique among South-East Queensland’s rail lines. The SCL forms part of the railway track that falls within the federal government’s National Transport Network, mainly in recognition of its role in carrying significant volumes of freight each year to and from central and north Queensland over lines that also are traversed by long-distance Travel Trains and passenger trains connecting Brisbane and Gympie North via the Caboolture Line. Any investment in the SCL through the Sunshine Coast hinterland is a direct investment in meeting the transport needs of other regions, most notably Gladstone–Rockhampton, Mackay and Townsville. Much of the SCL is built to a poor alignment dating from the early days of construction that began in the 19th century. At times, passenger trains must slow to 40 km/hr, making the trip to Brisbane inconvenient and slow. Short passing loops – that require freight trains half that of long super-freighters operating in other states – increase costs for Queensland freight forwarders.
