What happened last time: the Gold Coast Light Rail

Helensvale sits on this corridor. Two independent university studies tracked property values near light rail stations from 1996 to 2016. Here's what actually happened — not a projection, a record.

The biggest jump (+26%) landed during the feasibility study — years before construction even started, let alone the first tram running. Land 100–400m from a station rose 30% more than land 800m+ away, over the full 1996–2016 window.
+7%extra value within 400m of a station, in just the first year the line operated (vs land 400m–2km away)
$300mtotal land-value uplift across 1,324 properties near Stage 1 stations — about 25% of what Stage 1 cost to build

This is historical research on the Gold Coast's existing light rail (Stages 1–2) — not a guarantee any future project repeats it. We show it because it's the most rigorously documented Gold Coast precedent for how transit signals have actually played out here, and it's why AusProp surfaces planning and funding signals rather than waiting for ribbon-cuttings.
