The Direct Sunshine Coast Rail Line project is a proposed 37.8 km rail line between Beerwah and Maroochydore. 

The first stage is for a 19 km dual track built from Beerwah to Caloundra, with subsequent stages to Birtinya and Maroochydore. 

At the time of evaluation, the Australian Government had committed $160 million for planning of the Direct Sunshine Coast Rail Line and set aside $1.44 billion for construction.
