The Project
At present, the only north-south rail corridor in eastern Australia runs from Melbourne to Albury, and then to Sydney, then along the coastline to Brisbane. In March 2008 the Australian Government asked ARTC to undertake a study of the proposed Melbourne to Brisbane inland railway, to determine an optimum alignment and to assess the financial and economic prospects of the project.
Our Involvement
Aquenta Consulting were engaged as part of the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) team to provide independent estimating services for the proposed 1731 kilometre rail line.
The Outcome
The proposal was completed and published in July 2010.
