Broadbeach South light rail station is a major public transport hub in the Gold Coast suburb of Broadbeach. The station opened in July 2014 as the southern terminus of the light rail line.[1] [2]

Kinetic Group operate an extensive bus services from the station to the Gold Coast Airport, Tweed Heads, Robina station and Nerang station as well the surrounding suburbs. The light rail service runs from the station to Helensvale via Southport and Surfers Paradise.[3]

In early 2024, construction work for stage 3 of the system began at Broadbeach South Station. This involved the west platform (platform 1) being closed, meaning boarding is only available from platform 2. Work included platform 1 being removed to reveal tracks previously laid underneath, and new track being connected as part of the extension.[4]
