Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail — Preliminary documentation and notification for EPBC

Logan and Gold Coast Faster Rail (EPBC Ref: 2022/09439)

Publication of Preliminary Documentation under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

From 12 March to 4 April 2025, the community was invited to comment on the draft Preliminary Documentation for the LGC project, as required under the EPBC Act. Each public submission was formally considered, with minor updates made to the Preliminary Documentation where relevant.

The updated Preliminary Documentation and Public Comment Response Document was submitted to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) for review. Following its review, DCCEEW advised that TMR can share these updates and the Public Comment Response Document for public viewing.

The updated Preliminary Documentation and the Public Comment Response Document are available below and will be on public display from Friday 23 May to Thursday 5 June, at the following locations:

  • Logan Central Library, 26 Wilbur Street, Logan Central

  • Beenleigh Library, Crete Street, Beenleigh

  • Sunnybank Hills Library, 661 Compton Road, Sunnybank Hills

  • State Library of Queensland, Stanley Place, South Brisbane

What happens next

The federal Minister for the Environment and Water will undertake an assessment of the updated Preliminary Documentation and then decide to approve, approve with conditions or not approve the proposed action (the Project). When the DCCEEW decision is received and published, public comment respondents will be notified.
