End of line for Broadbeach monorail
AFTER 27 years as a striking part of the Broadbeach landscape, the monorail track is vanishing from above the Gold Coast Highway.
Workers were this week seen removing the track in sections from west to east, after the section near The Star was taken away earlier this year.
At that end, where the casino is in the midst of a redevelopment, the former Jupiters station will be replaced by a multi-level sports theatre. Across the highway the Oasis centre is also in the middle of an overhaul. The disused monorail station on the far eastern side of the complex will be used for office space and food and dining outlets that will overlook the intersection of Victoria Ave and Surf Parade.
