The Gold Coast Council fears the third stage of Gold Coast Light Rail may face significant delays over funding disputes.
The LNP Government and the Labor Opposition both pledged to drop one hundred and twelve million dollars in federal funding on Stage 3A - but Council says this is less than what they were expecting in order to get the six hundred and sixty million dollar project underway.
With Council and the State Government having to foot the remaining 83% of the bill, the opening of the new line extension is now predicted to be in 2022, a year later than planned.
