The Gold Coast High Capacity Public Transport (HCPT) study is a planning commission for the City of Gold Coast to identify feasible HCPT route options.The HCPT study relates to Signature Project 3 of Council’s Transport Strategy 2031 which identifies the need for corridor planning studies to accommodate high frequency transit modes to respond to high growth areas. The key outcome for Council was to identify a shortlist of preferred routes for corridors which will be included within State and local statutory planning, and ultimately taken forward for further refinement and funding.This study will identify route options suitable for further investigation into the development of HCPT to serve these corridors. Identifying these route options will be a key step in fulfilling a signature public transport action within the Gold Coast City Transport Strategy 2031, This work will also ensure that the HCPT alignment options for these corridors that have been outlined in the Gold Coast City Transport Strategy 2031 are identified to be considered for inclusion within State and Local statutory planning instruments.As Project Director Paul interfaces directly with the senior client team and ensures the smooth running of the project and the ongoing development of senior relationships within Council, guiding the project to ensure user satisfaction at client and stakeholder level.
