Alternative options for Nambour tram project to be investigated

Sunshine Coast Council

Council has agreed to defer consideration of the Nambour Heritage Tramway project until April 2019 to enable further investigations to be undertaken on matters relating to the design, costs and risks associated with the project.

Council has not at this time made any decision to withdraw from this project.

Council CEO Michael Whittaker said the project would be jointly reviewed with Nambour Tramway Company Ltd over the coming months.

"This additional time will enable the divisional councillor, Cr Greg Rogerson, to work in partnership with the Nambour Tramway Company Ltd and council officers to undertake investigations into alternative construction methods for the tramway corridor to ensure best value for money," Mr Whittaker said.
