Economic Growth
Cross River Rail is a critical public transport infrastructure project and will be one of Queensland’s most important job generating projects, supporting economic growth and employment for Queenslanders for years to come.
During its construction the project will provide an average of 1500 jobs per year, including 450 apprentices and traineeship opportunities.
The Cross River Rail Business Case, released in August 2017, shows the benefits of the project are expected to exceed cost by $1.9 billion, and that for every dollar invested, the project will return $1.41 in benefits for Queenslanders.
Revitalising precincts around the new underground stations at Boggo Road, Woolloongabba, Albert Street, Roma Street and the year-round upgraded station at Exhibition, Cross River Rail will unlock decades of urban and commercial development opportunities.
