AFAIA the Gold Coast City Council has dropped all plans to build a monorail
and has been looking at light rail for the past year or more. Three private
companies have submitted expressions of interest for the design, constuction
and operation of a 30km light rail system. Inter-running with the heavy rail
system along portions of the Gold Coast railway is also under serious
consideration.
