Residents of Trinder Park in Woodridge have been told they will possibly lose their homes to a new rail line.
State and Federal governments announced earlier this month nearly four hundred million dollars will be spent on upgrading the rail lines between Kuraby and the Gold Coast ahead of the 2032 Olympics. Local resident Mian Waqar said hours after he was told he was able to move into his newly built home, he received a letter saying that his new house would be bulldozed ahead of the new rail line.
A Translink Spokesperson said, “We are in the early stages of that process and are working respectfully with landholders.”
The project will be in the community consultation phase until the end of October.
