A Labor Government will establish a High Speed Rail Authority to work through a process for gathering international expressions of interest over the construction of a High Speed Rail link between Brisbane and Melbourne via Sydney and Canberra. Labor’s push to advance this visionary project will end three years of Coalition inaction on High Speed Rail, which would revolutionise interstate travel and turbo charge regional development. A feasibility study completed in 2013 found the project would be viable, with the Sydney to Melbourne leg expected to return more than $2 in economic benefit for every dollar invested.
