Good news I hope the light rail actually happens on the NSW side. It's interesting reading about them wanting to use the old railway alignment. I don't think the road alignment by the beach would work well.

THE light rail link to Gold Coast Airport has received a surprise boost, with $1 million put towards the project in today’s NSW state budget.

The Berejiklian Government put the funds towards the Tweed Heads to Coolangatta linkhttps://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news/regional/tweed-light-rail-to-connect-to-gold-coast/news-story/21511bd397b056aa82a50216f5c43c69, which has long been proposed.

The funds will be used to develop a concept plan for the link which will eventually connect with the Gold Coast light rail.

Queensland Airports chief executive Chris Mills has welcomed news of light rail plans progressing from Tweed Heads to Coolangatta.

Mr Mills said linkages to the airport from both Queensland https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news/gold-coast/gold-coast-light-rail-stage-3a-treasurer-jackie-trad-regrets-not-funding-broadbeach-to-burleigh-tram-in-budget/news-story/251a39e394a8609dc4a49e7a522c00a3 and NSW would have major benefits for a range of organisations including the airport itself, businesses based in the airport precinct and organisations like Southern Cross University.

Flashback: Gold Coast Light Rail
Flashback to the 2003 Gold Coast Light Rail feasability study

According to plans revealed in February, two potential routes are being considered:

These include a light rail link from Coolangatta Airport to Tweed Heads, with a second option expanding to Tweed Heads South.

The route would use the former Nerang-Tweed railway and continue through Coolangatta to Bay St, Wharf St and then Minjungbal Drive.
