The North Coast Connect rail project is looking develop a ‘Fast Rail’ 45 minute commute from Nambour to Brisbane.
Fairfax MP Ted O'Brien says 26 national rail submissions were lodged last year in a bid to share in $10 billion of federal funding to improve passenger rail connections between regional cities and towns.
The project is being supported by 26 Federal Coalition MP’s, however it is not yet known if the state Labor Government will support the proposal.
