Gold Coast Light Rail Stage 3

Stage 3 of the G:link expansion extends the light rail network 6.7 km from Broadbeach South to Burleigh Heads, adding eight new stations and supporting the wider 27 km network between Helensvale and Burleigh Heads.

RCP provided specialist programming services to Keolis Downer Gold Coast (KDGC), the Operations and Maintenance Contractor. Our role included scheduling, critical path analysis and programme integration, aligning operational readiness with the Design and Construct works being delivered by John Holland.

Managing complex programme interfaces.

Stage 3 brought together multiple delivery partners, with close coordination required between construction, commissioning and operational activities. RCP developed and maintained integrated programmes that connected KDGC’s operational requirements with the construction programme, providing visibility of critical milestones, dependencies and emerging interface risks.

Working closely with KDGC, GoldLinQ and the construction team, RCP supported the sequencing of activities through design, construction, testing and handover, helping prepare the expanded network for a coordinated transition into passenger service.
