Transparency in route selection

THE PROCESS FOR SELECTING A ROUTE

• Define the broad corridor
• Define a business case and a

recommended alignment

• See if there are options to improve on the

recommended alignment

• Recommend study areas to get more

detailed information about actual conditions and preferences along the final recommended alignment

• Refine the study area based on very

detailed information

• Determine final rail corridor

INLAND RAIL SKILLS ACADEMY

Launched in Toowoomba in August 2019 Creating value for communities along the Inland Rail alignment by offering education and training programs which increase the number of skilled local residents.

The Inland Rail Skills Academy aims to: 1. increase the number of skilled local people eligible for employment on Inland Rail and associated regional industries 2. increase school student awareness and capability by connecting students with industry best practice 3. create opportunities for local businesses to participate in new supply chains 4. equip Inland Rail employees with world-class skills

INLAND RAIL SCHOLARSHIPS PROGRAM

Provide real world education opportunities for regional students considering an undergraduate degree at University of Southern Queensland, Charles Sturt University and La Trobe University. Students commencing study in 2020 and 2021 can apply for 20 Inland Rail Scholarships, each valued at up to $20,000, or $5,000 for every year of study. 7 Scholarships across 2020 and 2021 at USQ (Toowoomba + Stanthorpe Hub) Inland Rail Scholarships are a great opportunity for students to launch their career paths in industries which directly contribute to their region’s prosperity and social cohesion. Indigenous people and those experiencing financial hardship are particularly encouraged to apply.

DEVELOPING SIDINGS AND TERMINALS

• The development of sidings will be driven by

the market, private enterprise will determine where is viable to locate and operate a siding or terminal.

• There is no predetermined location or

number of sidings for Inland Rail. This is for the market to develop.

PORTS

Brisbane

• Dual-gauge connection for single-stack trains from Acacia Ridge to the

Port of Brisbane

• No constraint on rail bound port traffic until 2040
• Inland Rail Business Case does not assume a dedicated connection
• Would require a separate business case
• Strategic review of dedicated port access underway

Melbourne

• Standard-gauge connection to the Port of Melbourne
• Investment in Port Rail Shuttles jointly between the Australian and

Victorian Government underway.
