AUSTRALIA: Gold Coast Light Rail project company GoldlinQ has selected John Holland as preferred bidder for design and construction of the Stage 3 extension to Burleigh Heads. The 6·7 km extension from Broadbeach South will be built in the central reservation of the existing Gold Coast Highway, adding a further eight stops and offering a journey time of around 17 min. According to Queensland’s Minister for Transport & Main Roads Mark Bailey, who is also MP for Broadbeach, construction of the extension will support more than 760 jobs, helping to revitalise the local economy following the coronavirus pandemic.
