The Gold Coast, home to the progressive G:Link (Gold Coast Light Rail) is a tourist destination in Australia unlike any other. Famed for its stunning coastline, prime surfing locations and popular tourist attractions, the Gold Coast appeals to hundreds of thousands of holiday makers both interstate and international every year. Alongside the local Gold Coast community, the tourism industry flourishes and shows no sign of losing momentum. With thousands flocking to our shores, soaking up our sun and basking in our fabulous atmosphere, the Gold Coast is continuing to develop and redefines the term “holiday destination”. Sunshine Kiosks is strategically positioned to benefit from the influx of both local and travelling commuters.
In conjunction with day to day travel, the Gold Coast also plays host to major events which attract astronomical numbers to our city. With events such as the GC 600, the Gold Coast Marathon, Magic Millions Racing Carnival, Blues on Broadbeach, the Bleach Festival and major sporting events such as the Quicksilver Pro and the Australian PGA Championship, the number of average commuters’ skyrockets during these periods offering more exposure and business opportunity for Kiosk operators.
Spanning across 8 prominent suburbs, the Gold Coast Light Rail is the primary source of Public Transportation. From Helensvale to Surfers Paradise and all stops to Broadbeach South, the Light Rail crosses through a multitude of Gold Coast hot spots and will continue to expand to the Southern parts of our sunny city.
With Gold Coast population on the rise, (The Govt are predicting the Gold Coast population to reach 1,076,000 by 2041) the increase in G:Link commuters is guaranteed and at July 2019, an estimated 220,000 individuals are riding the G each week. Sunshine Kiosk is presenting an opportunity with foot traffic and potential exposure unlike anywhere else.
Approximately 80% of local commuters opt to use the G:Link for their day to day travels. With direct access to major shopping centres, University, Hospitals and interchange for the Helensvale train station connecting passengers to Brisbane and Brisbane Airport, the Gold Coast Light Rail unparalleled.

The busiest stations in 2018-19 were Cavill Avenue with (1.67 million boardings) followed by Broadbeach South (1.49 million), Southport (1.1 million), Helensvale (1.09 million) and Gold Coast University Hospital Station (900,000). The expansion is set to take the tramlines to the southern parts of the Gold Coast where we can expect the same growth for all stations connecting commuters to Burleigh Heads.
The next stage of the Gold Coast's light rail line is a step closer after being given a nod from Australia's independent infrastructure adviser. Infrastructure Australia has approved the business cases for four Queensland projects with a combined value of $6 billion - Gold Coast light rail stage 3A and three Bruce Highway upgrades - adding them to the national Infrastructure Priority List.
Infrastructure Australia chief executive Romilly Madew said the expanded light rail line on the southern part of the Gold Coast - from Broadbeach South to Burleigh Heads - would help tackle congestion.
"Gold Coast light rail stage 3A addresses the dual challenges of population growth and high levels of car dependency on the Gold Coast, one of Australia's major tourism destinations, which hosts around 12 million visitors each year," she said. "With 88 per cent of trips currently by private vehicle and less than 5 per cent by public transport, urban congestion is a major challenge and this is expected to worsen as the Gold Coast's population grows by an estimated 55 per cent to 928,000 people by 2041."
The Queensland government estimated the cost of congestion between Broadbeach and Burleigh Heads was $38 million last year, which would increase to $145 million by 2041. However, Ms Madew said the total benefits of stage 3A were close to its total costs."We identified two key factors that are critical to delivering value for money: land use changes to promote urban renewal and increase density in surrounding areas, and encouraging more residents to leave the car at home and use the light rail instead."
Ms Madew said the Queensland government and Gold Coast City Council would need to take proactive steps to encourage people to use the next stage of light rail, which ran through a less densely populated area.
Travel times on light rail will be similar to existing bus services, even though light rail should be more reliable and comfortable for passengers, Infrastructure Australia said.
