Ormeau rail facility
A rail facility is being constructed on a 66ha site in the Gold Coast region.
The new rail facility will cater for the expanding passenger train fleet. The 65 Queensland Train Manufacturing Program trains will be maintained and stabled at the Ormeau rail facility.
Benefits
- Increases capacity
- Improves network efficiency
- Contributes to economy
- Contributes to regional growth
Key features
The Ormeau rail facility will be used for train maintenance and stabling and will include:
- acoustic-proofed workshops
- office facilities
- internal access roads
- internal train tracks
- a train wash
- stabling tracks with capacity to house a maximum of 20 trains at any given time.
The rail facility in Ormeau will operate 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, to support the maintenance and stabling of 65 new six-car Queensland Train Manufacturing Program trains.

Ormeau rail facility video as of February 2026
Drone video showing progress on site at the Ormeau rail facility as at February 2026. It shows the roof of the maintenance and administration building, as well as ground improvement works and the concrete girders used for internal bridges.Current status
Construction activities are continuing throughout 2026. Construction is expected to be completed in line with the delivery of the Queensland Train Manufacturing Program trains.
QTMP will also deliver supporting infrastructure, including the Goldmine Road upgrade, rail connection works, train testing infrastructure, additional train stabling and signalling upgrades.
The concept design and community feedback outcomes for the Ormeau rail facility were provided in 2024. More information about the design will be provided in 2026.We are committed to continuing to work with the community and key stakeholders during the construction and operation of the rail facility.

Ormeau rail facility layout map
The permanent rail facility access is off Goldmine Road, with internal roads connecting the access point to the facilities. The layout plan calls out to the maintenance facility main building, including the administration office, 2 car parking areas, a train wash facility, staff facilities and a stabling yard. The rail facility site connects to the Gold Coast Main Line with future rail line tracks at the northern and southern ends of the site.
The site layout plan design is concept only and is not to scale.
