The business case for the Broadbeach to Burleigh light rail link has still not been released to the public. Today in the Gold Coast Bulletin there is now doubt being cast on the Federal government funding for the link.
"MAYOR Tom Tate has called an emergency meeting to help end an impasse between the state and federal governments over stage 3 of the light rail.
Works to extend track from Broadbeach to Burleigh Heads have stalled because the Morrison Government is refusing to tip in more than $112 million."
This may mean that us, the rate payers, will have to put even more into this white elephant. I have already pointed out that the federal government has no intention of funding the light rail past Burleigh Heads
Yet still our city politicians are spreading the fallacy that the rail will go to the airport.
"City leaders say it is an essential step towards a tram connection to Gold Coast Airport and relieving traffic congestion along the coastline."
This will never happen, it will be a rail line to nowhere.
