High Speed Rail Study: Terms of Reference Released
Featured Article

Image Reference: ChrisO (Wikipedia)
The Gillard Labor Government has commissioned
an open, extensive feasibility study to determine the economic benefits
and financial viability of a new multi-billion dollar high speed rail
network connecting the cities along Australia's east coast.
As a first step, I am today releasing the Terms of Reference which will
guide this $20 million feasibility study - see attachment.
In the coming weeks my Department will call for tenders to undertake
specialist tasks such geotechnical investigations as well as financial
and economic modelling.
The feasibility study will build on previous work by determining the
optimum alignment of a high speed rail network after taking into account
the needs of potential users as well as possible engineering, planning
and environmental challenges.
As well as determining the route alignment, the feasibility study will
provide information which will help guide future public and private
investment decisions, including likely demand and an estimated
construction cost.
