Transport options are one area of great interest.
\nAccordingly we h ave invited a representative of American Maglev Technologies to provide us with a presentation on their technology.
\nThe Caboolture to Maroochydore Corridor Study (CA MCOS) project was first mooted by the Queensland State Government in the m id-1990s and proposed a passenger rail service branching off the North Coa st railway line at Beerwah and extending through Caloundra to Maroochydore . The objective of the project was to provide a public rail transit spine for the Sunshine Coast and link the coastal urban area to the major north ern rail line and to Brisbane.
\nThe initial study was comp leted in 2001 and included the option of extending the service beyond Maro ochydore to the Sunshine Coast Airport.
\nThe then State Go vernment agreed to implement the positive recommendations of the study. S ubsequently\, a succession of State Governments has expressed commitment t o the project\, reflected in action taken to protect the preferred future public transit corridor from Beerwah to Maroochydore and on to the Sunshin e Coast Airport.
\nThe Beerwah-Maroochydore rail link was also retained as a key action in the delivery of an integrated transport network for S-E Queensland in the 2011 Connecting SEQ 2031 – An In tegrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland report (p. 47). There are frequent additional references throughout the report alluding to the critical importance of this rail connection.
\nFurther repeated reference has been made by the State Govern ment to the need for the CAMCOS rail line from Beerwah to Maroochydore. C ontinued work on the project by TMR and ongoing protection of the corridor would indicate that it remains an infrastructure and service priority.
\nIt is noted that the 2001 CAMCOS study report sup ported a heavy rail option for the Beerwah-Maroochydore connection. Under contemporary circumstances\, however\, the heavy rail option has substant ial capital cost disadvantages when compared to other transit technologies . In addition\, with the interim growth of a range of residential areas a nd other community facilities adjacent to the reserved corridor the develo pment of a heavy rail system in the current environment is likely to attra ct significant objection and disruption both during construction and opera tion.
\nTo overcome these factors alternative tec hnologies need to be considered\; Light rail is one widely discussed opti on\, Maglev (magnetic levitation) rail could be another.
