Major Wins for The Wave: Brownfields and Greenfields Packages Awarded

We have big news for Queensland projects.

Beerwah Coast Connect has been awarded to a joint venture between Laing O’Rourke, Hatch and Georgiou for design and pre-construction works in Beerwah and surrounding areas (brownfield works).

CoastalTraX has also been awarded to a joint venture between ACCIONA and Georgiou for design and pre-construction works connecting with the brownfield package east of Steve Irwin Way through to Caloundra (greenfield works).

The contract to deliver the European Train Control System (ETCS) signalling solution and data radio systems has been awarded to Alstom and UGL.

What is The Wave?

• Bells Creek (Aura)

• Caloundra

• Aroona

• Birtinya

The project will integrate with the future Sunshine Coast Metro (stage 3), creating a seamless connection through Maroochydore CBD to the Sunshine Coast Airport.

Why it matters

The Wave is expected to:

• Cut peak travel times to Brisbane and Moreton Bay by more than 45 minutes compared to driving

• Provide faster, more reliable and sustainable transport options

• Reduce congestion on the road network

• Unlock more than 3,000 affordable and diverse homes around new stations over the next decade
