Sunshine Coast Light Rail ProjectPROJECT CHARTERProject Title:Sunshine Coast Light Rail ProjectSunshine Coast Council Project Sponsor:Project Manager:Taskforce (H. B. Harrison)_Executive Summary:...Transportation is one of the most important tools, which help in bringing development on a larger scale.The light rail project at Sunshine Coast is a strategic project that was undertaken to improve the workingatmosphere of the selected regions. This research aimed to make the transit system more rapid. Thepurpose of this research paper was to provide equivalent support to other projects like expansion ofairport, connecting the conventional centers and other major locations of Maroochydore. In order to keeppace with the growing demands of population, this project of Light Rail has been proposed and withconstruction of light rail from Maroochydore and Caloundra. The entire project has been planned out into4 phases, which shall be accomplished by 2020. Through this strategic step, Sunshine Coast shallbecome one of the most prominent areas to sustain life and initiate progress with help of sustainablegoals.Project Purpose or Justification:...The main purpose of this project is to develop a light rail, which has features like highly reliable greateraffordability and high frequency. In order to develop better connections in terms of transportation in thecommunity, this project has been proposed. The business activities shall be enhanced and prosperity willbe achieved simultaneously. The regions, which will be covered through this light rail route includeMaroochydore and Caloundra. The primary reason for which this research paper has been undertaken isthe growing demand of local individuals for accessing public transport. The congestion, which is createddue to cars and heavy vehicles has caused a lot of trouble to the localities which is not a good sign ofgrowth. Hence, this project was undertaken to minimise the congestion issues and improve transportationfacilities.

Sunshine Coast Light Rail ProjectPROJECT CHARTERProject Description:...The use of railways, roadways and airways helps in supporting business activities to a great extent and also employs pathways which can be helpful; in fulfilling the needs of exchange. In situations where thereis not transportation, there won't be any sort of exchange of goods or ideas, which depicts that development would take place at very slow rate. Sustainability is one of the key attributes for which everynation is striving currently. This project of Sunshine Coast Light Rail is one of the key steps that shall facilitate development with sustainability in one of the prominent regions of Australia. Hence, the respective Council developed Transport Strategy in the year 2011 for walking towards sustainable goals. The overall budget shall be procured from funding of three components i.e. Gold Coast City Council, Commonwealth Government and the Queensland Government. The project is estimated to be completedby 2020. The routes which are considered to be extensions of the core railway track developed under thisproject include:Sippy Downs and Palmview to University and the schools, which will be further developed in this corridor.Maroochydore to Sunshine Coast AirportMaroochydore to Nambour, etc. A traffic signal system shall be instilled in this light rail project, which shall be helpful in managing the congestion conditions and enabling a frequency of locomotion according to the adaptability of the area. The elevated tracks shall help in devising good speed to the rail and would not disrupt through intersections with the streets. The overhead power transmission will be based on 750V DC current. On the other hand, the overhead power lines which currently exist shall be shifted to underground cables for avoiding interruptions or disruptions. Furthermore, the design of the track is quite efficient and the stations are divided at distance of 1km. The platform on which passengers shall arrive or depart is raised 300mm from the tracks whilst maintaining a gap of 40mm. The main aim of this project is to gain economic prosperity with higher stability in terms of sustainability.
