Buderim Rotary welcomed Greg Rogerson, who is at the helm of an ambitious plan to build and operate a passenger tram in Nambour.
The Nambour Tramway would run on heritage-listed tramway lines, which were in use for more than 100 years before the Moreton Sugar Mill closed in 2003. With the infrastructure in place, and a terminus and a railway line through town, the project is well on the way to reality.
The three-bay tramway depot was opened in 2021 and homes an ex-cane diesel locomotive, gifted by Bundaberg Sugar.
Mr Rogerson believes a functioning tram in Nambour will help to invigorate the town’s future, drawing on the region’s past.
