WHAT’S NEW IN THE MORETON BAY REGION
Moreton Bay Rail Link
The Moreton Bay Rail Link was completed in late 2016 and this $1.2 billion project has improved the overall accessibility of the region, enabling residents to easily connect to key retail, commercial and employment nodes.
The rail line provides a significant public transport link between Redcliffe and the Brisbane CBD and delivers the vital infrastructure to connect the major growth corridors of North Lakes, Mango Hill, Murrumba Downs with employment opportunities.
The project includes new stations for Kallngur, Murrumba Downs, Mango Hill, Mango Hill East, Rothwell and Kippa-Ring.
University Of The Sunshine Coast
Set for completion in 2023, the $81 million Sunshine Coast campus will significantly improve access to tertiary education for residents of the Moreton Bay Region whilst also attracting new students and residents from outside the catchment area as well as creating new local jobs.
