Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) Cable Landing Station

The Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) Cable Landing Station is located at 44 Maud Street, Maroochydore, Sunshine Coast, adjacent to the Maroochydore City Centre, and approximately 100km north of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. The Sunshine Coast CLS is the cable landing station for JGA South.

The Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) CLS is owned and operated by the local Sunshine Coast Council, as a purpose-built facility providing colocation and connectivity to Brisbane and the North-Eastern parts of Australia.

The Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) CLS costs about $6.6 million cable landing station, as a part of the $35 million Sunshine Coast International Broadband Submarine Cable network, including $15 million from the Queensland Government’s $150 million Jobs and Regional Growth Fund and $20 million from Sunshine Coast Council.

Following an international submarine cable contract between Sunshine Coast Council and RTI Connectivity Pty Ltd (RTI-C), the Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) CLS is purpose-built for the landing of the 7000km Japan-Guam-Australia South (JGA South) submarine cable at Maroochydore, Sunshine Coast.

Upon the activation of the JGA South at Sunshine Coast (Maroochydore) CLS, Queensland businesses will, for the first time, be able to bypass Sydney and connect direct internationally. This will provide business with a range of new opportunities that come with increased speed and diversity. This connectivity will give major data-intensive companies such as Facebook, Google, Amazon and Microsoft the opportunity to revisit the benefits of where they locate their Australian investments.
