Unfortunately it doesn't work like one unfamiliar with the ways of government muppets would reasonably expect. I had to learn advanced dentistry to extract information about the fate of the Helensvale site which was supposed to be functional late 2017 but now looks to be a late 2018 event. As for the 'proposed' sites, the best I've been able to get from the muppets has been a 'huh', hence the reason I posed the question here. The RACQ has been big-noting itself for doing stuff-all with EVs, unlike the NRMA which claims to have allocated $10 million to charging points, and the RACV and RACWA which also claim they are doing wonderful things. I can only assume the NRMA, RACV and RACWA are doing what they say because I haven't had reason to go there to check. Maybe if EVs had two wheels, no motor, and lycra-clad operators, the RACQ would be only too happy to assist as they have always been obsessed with pandering to the MAMIL fraternity. FWIW, there seems to be a phase one and a phase two to the so-called electric super-highway. Phase one is completed apart from Helensvale and Phase two proposes to install the two additional between Brisbane and Gold Coast, one between Brisbane and Sunshine Coast, and another somewhere north of Cooroy. No officially published information gives more than a vague location to the Phase two sites. To date I've been able to find anything remotely helpful about the Phase two sites as the muppets are even more useless than normal. Presumably SOMEONE has a plan for location but they haven't bothered to be identifiable or to let any information past the 'TOP SECRET' classification.
