Contractor appointed for Hope Island station

• Cross River Rail (CRR) has engaged ACCIONA Georgiou Joint Venture (AGJV) to design and construct the Hope Island station on Queensland’s Gold Coast line.

Cross River Rail (CRR) has engaged ACCIONA Georgiou Joint Venture (AGJV) to design and construct the Hope Island station on Queensland’s Gold Coast line.

AGJV is the major contractor delivering the Department of Transport and Main Roads’ Coomera Connector Stage 1 North project, located immediately adjacent to the station.

The close proximity and interface between the two major projects has determined that management and delivery of construction activities by one contractor is the preferred delivery solution.

An Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) phase has now commenced, providing an opportunity for AGJV and the CRR to collaborate and develop best for project outcomes.

Further studies including traffic management, hydrology assessments and utility investigations are ongoing to finalise the station design.

The community will be kept up to date as the design progresses and the final station design will be released prior to construction commencing.

Construction on the Hope Island station is planned to commence in 2023 and the community will be notified of the construction program and activities well in advance of works commencing on site.

The Cross River Rail Delivery Authority is continuing with planning of two other new rail stations on the line to help connect South East Queensland’s growing population: Pimpama and Merrimac.
