In early 2024, construction work for stage 3 of the G:Link 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]
