Potential Future Extensions
The original plans for expansion would see the line stretching 55 kilometres (34 mi) between Helensvale and Coolangatta. This would be delivered in stages including a segment from Griffith University to Helensvale, a segment from Broadbeach to Burleigh Heads, and a segment from Burleigh Heads to Coolangatta.
In late 2012, the Gold Coast City Council released a draft of their Transport Strategy 2031. The document outlined the original line would be extended west to Parkwood and south to the Gold Coast Airport. Additional spurs would be added from Harbour Town to Griffith University, from The Spit to Main Beach, from Surfers Paradise to Bundall, and from Nobby Beach to Robina.

“There is a potential 4-6 percentage point net gain for the President [George Bush] by replacing Dan Quayle on the ticket with someone of neutral stature.”
—Mary Matalin, U.S. Republican political advisor, author, and James Carville b. 1946, U.S. Democratic political advisor, author. All’s Fair: Love, War, and Running for President, p. 205, Random House (1994)
“I will be steel!
I will build a steel bridge over my need!
I will build a bomb shelter over my heart!
But my future is a secret.
It is as shy as a mole.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The psychological umbilical cord is more difficult to cut than the real one. We experience our children as extensions of ourselves, and we feel as though their behavior is an expression of something within us...instead of an expression of something in them. We see in our children our own reflection, and when we don’t like what we see, we feel angry at the reflection.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
