We have worked hard to ensure that our $36 billion worth of assets are managed sustainably and remain fit-for- purpose across the whole asset life cycle. This has included implementing our Strategic Asset Management Plan. We have also developed best practice governance framework and assurance processes to support the execution of the Department of Treasury and Finance’s Asset Management Accountability Framework (AMAF). We completed our inaugural AMAF attestation in 2017-18 and provided a statement of compliance and AMAF results to support TfV’s transport portfolio aggregation.

  • Australasian Railway Association Skills Capabilty Study
    AUSTRALASIAN RAILWAY ASSOCIATION SKILLS CAPABILTY STUDY SKILLS CRISIS: A CALL TO ACTION NOVEMBER 2018 FOREWORD We are living through a renaissance of investment in rail. Projects such as Cross River Rail in Brisbane, Inland Rail, Sydney and Melbourne Metros, the Level Crossing Replacement Program, the Metronet project in Perth, rail extensions in South Australia, expansion of rail lines in the Pilbara, and numerous light rail projects in cities across the country, are heralding this renaissance. New Zealand too, is experiencing a deepening focus on rail. But this hasn’t always been the case. Rail investment stagnation, stop-start funding cycles and short term cost cutting have been a feature of the Australian rail sector since the 1980s. And one of the consequences has been the collapse in investment in training and skills development of the people to build our infrastructure and to operate and maintain first class rail services. This is a clear case of market failure. ARA commissioned this Report to undertake a workforce capability analysis based on planned and forecast rail infrastructure development in Australia and New Zealand over the next 10 years, with implications for a range of rail industry skills across construction, manufacturing, operations and maintenance. And to determine strategies to address them. The term supply and demand is well understood in the marketplace. However, as to rail skills in the current investment environment, it is a case of ‘demand and no supply.’ This is the crisis that this Report seeks to address. We welcome the massive investment in all aspects of rail now underway. This is crucial for our economic growth and improving amenity in our cities and regions.

    TABLE TALK AUSTRALASIAN TIMETABLE NEWS No. 333, May 2020 Published by the Australian Timetable Association RAIL & TRAM NEWS NATIONAL Rail freight surges to re-stock shops The rush to refill supermarket shelves following the coronavirus panic-buying pushed up interstate rail haulage by as much as 15 per cent, according to Pacific National (PN). PN's boss, Dean Dalla Valle, said that PN had been playing catch-up with additional runs across the Nullarbor and along the East Coast to cope with the unseasonal demand. More the 60 per cent of goods imported into Western Australia come by rail, according to Mr Dalla Valle, and PN increased its services in the state by 15 per cent in the lead-up to the Easter weekend, with fresh fruit and vegetables from WA market gardens making up much of the return trade. Demand coming into Easter long weekend had increased its runs across the Nullarbor to more than 40 a week between Melbourne and Perth, while services to Brisbane had lifted by close to 10 per cent. He also said that while consumer goods had driven the surge in additional services, bulk coal and grain services were holding up well, but it was impossible to predict if freight and coal volumes would hold up in coming months. A double-stacked train across the Nullarbor can be as long as 1.8km and haul more than 330 shipping containers. Each container can hold 25,000 rolls of toilet paper, 1,500 cases of beer or 65,000 Easter chocolate bunnies. Aurizon and partner Linfox have also reported that freight deliveries into regional Queensland had lifted more than 20 per cent after the coronavirus outbreak.

  • Arden Station Precinct Development Plan
    9 August 2021 AMENDMENT TO THE ARDEN STATION PRECINCT DEVELOPMENT PLAN Cross Yarra Partnership (CYP) has been contracted by Rail Projects Victoria (RPV) to design, build and maintain the stations and tunnel for the Metro Tunnel Project (the Project). Arden is to become a new destination and community of Melbourne – a place to work, live and visit – with a character that is modern, industrial, youthful and gritty. Arden Station will be the catalyst for the urban renewal of this precinct, and will be the heart of its economic, social and civic intensity. The Arden Station Precinct Development Plan was previously approved by the Minister for Planning on Thursday 8 March 2018. As part of this, a Consultation Summary Report was also provided. Since approval, the design for the Arden Station Precinct has progressed through detailed design following an iterative stakeholder engagement and design development process. Design development has led to changes at the Arden Station precinct including to improve access to the Arden Station, enhance flood protection and provide more greenery through retaining and planting more trees. CYP seeks comments on these changes from the stakeholders. As such, the Arden Station Precinct Development Plan has been amended in accordance with Clause 4.7.8 of the Project’s Incorporated Document and includes: • An explanation demonstrating additional stakeholder engagement during detailed design of Arden Station Precinct (refer to Section 1.3.2) • Information on changes to the architectural response, including raising
