Proposal Summary Tasmanian Rail Revitalisation Program – Rail Infrastructure Initiative Name: Capital Initiative Tasmanian Rail Network (State-wide) as defined in Location (State/Region(or City)/ Schedule 1 Part 1 of the (refer Locality): Rail Infrastructure Act 2007 Annexure 1 – The Tasmanian Rail Network) Tasmanian Government and Tasmanian Railway Pty Ltd Name of Proponent Entity: (TasRail) Damien White Contact (Name, Position, phone/e- Chief Executive Officer – TasRail mail): 11 Techno Park Drive Kings Meadows, Tasmania 7249 www.tasrail.com.au Executive summary TasRail, supported by the Tasmanian Government, is focused on rejuvenating rail so that it can be an important and integral component of an effective, efficient and sustainable transport system for Tasmania. Ultimately, the Tasmanian Government’s transport priority is for rail to attract a greater share of the contestable freight market (intermodal goods) and to continue to develop new business opportunities in those markets where it has a natural advantage (bulk goods). The Tasmanian Rail Revitalisation Program integrates securing both the safety and reliability of the rail network and the efficiency and competitiveness of rail freight operations. A detailed overview of the Rail Revitalisation Program is included at Annexure 2. The Rail Infrastructure Capital Initiative is a key component of the Rail Revitalisation Program. Combined with the Tasmanian Government’s investment in the Brighton Transport Hub, and the planned investments at the Burnie and Bell Bay Ports specifically targeted at streamlining the interface between road and rail and rail and shipping at these locations, there is now a sound foundation for an efficient integrated freight network for the State.

  • Tasrail), Was Established by an Act of the Tasmanian Parliament (Rail Company Act 2009)
    Productivity Commission Initial Submission December 2013 File No: PC_0012013Page 1 of 9 Pictured: Brighton Transport Hub: Logs being prepared for rail haulage to Date: 11/12/2013 Bell Bay and general containerised freight departing to Burnie Port. Background On 1 December 2009 a new State-owned company, Tasmanian Railway Pty Ltd (TasRail), was established by an Act of the Tasmanian Parliament (Rail Company Act 2009). TasRail was created by combining the Below Rail assets (track and associated infrastructure), for which the Tasmanian Government had assumed responsibility in 2007, with the Above Rail assets (rolling stock, workshops, depots) and business assets purchased from Pacific National late in 2009. This completed the amalgamation of the whole operating rail network within Tasmania, and importantly, enabled TasRail to operate as a vertically integrated rail freight business. At the time of its establishment, it was well documented that TasRail had inherited a business characterised by many decades of capital under-investment. This had critically constrained the ability of rail to contribute to the business development of the State and led to increased volumes of freight being transferred to the road network. As investment in rail has occurred since the new company has been established, TasRail is rapidly transitioning from the Rail Rescue to the Revitalization phase with new customers, growing volumes, improved Below Rail infrastructure and new rolling stock all well advanced. Current Situation Rebuilding the Below Rail Network The Australian and Tasmanian Governments recognised that, similar to the road network, the Below Rail Network is critical infrastructure that requires sufficient funding to ensure appropriate maintenance, operational and safety standards.

  • Mining the Van Diemen's Land Company Holdings 1851– 1899: A
    Journal of Australasian Mining History, Vol. 16, October 2018 Mining the Van Diemen’s Land Company holdings 1851– 1899: a case of bad luck and clever adaptation By NIC HAYGARTH University of Tasmania The Van Diemen’s Land Company (V.D.L. Co.) might be forgiven for cursing its luck when it came to mining, for decades of searching for minerals on its own lands in north- western Van Diemen’s Land (known as Tasmania from 1856) proved fruitless. Its major holding, the 150,000-acre Surrey Hills block, was just outside the rich Mount Read Volcanics zone and capped with basalt which obstructed prospecting,1 while the Mount Bischoff tin deposits, discovered in 1871, were four kilometres outside its boundaries— and that was not the company’s only near miss. For years its prospector W.R. Bell (see Fig. 1) scratched away at mineralisation on the edge of the rich scheelite and magnetite skarn deposit which in the twentieth century was opened up as the Kara mine. This was also situated a few kilometres outside V.D.L. Co. boundaries, and only commenced operation long after the company withdrew from the area.2 Similarly, modern exploration techniques revealed the valuable Hellyer ore body opened up in 1989 in the Mount Read Volcanic belt, only four kilometres south of the V.D.L. Co.’s former Surrey Hills block. Yet mining was the company’s making. The near miss at Mount Bischoff actually enabled it to turn around its fortunes. The V.D.L. Co. struggled for survival for almost half a century as primarily a wool-growing concern before this landmark mineral discovery was made, and while the company owned no shares in the Mount Bischoff tin mine, it did own the nearest convenient deep water port site, Emu Bay (Burnie), and nearly all the intervening land, enabling it to monopolise the Mount Bischoff trade.

  • Future Transport Tasmania Bathurst St PO Box 4515 Hobart TAS 7000 July 2015 Submisssion to Legislative Council Enquiry Into Tasrail 2015
    Future Transport Tasmania Bathurst St PO Box 4515 Hobart TAS 7000 July 2015 Submisssion to Legislative Council enquiry into Tasrail 2015 In reference to the above inquiry Future Transport Tasmania (FTT) would like to submit the following to the committee: Future Transport Tasmania is a community group with non-financial members across the state. FTT finds that the terms of reference contain unusual wording which appear either designed deliberately to mask intent, or to have specific negative assumptions. On this basis, FTT submits that it may not be possible for this inquiry to produce an objective set of recommendations. FTT will refer to these issues within this document. FTT is not in a position to fund financial or economic studies and is therefore unable to offer advice or comment on specific financial arrangements of Tasrail. However, FTT believes that a review of the relevant history of the Tasmanian Railways would be prudent, so as to ensure that the committee members are fully conversant with the current situation. This is because past events have had a direct bearing on the present circumstances. A Brief History of Tasmania’s railways Tasmania’s main line from Hobart to Launceston was originally constructed by a private company owned by investors in London. In an ironic twist of repeating history the Tasmanian Main Line Railway Company was purchased by the Tasmanian Government after a string of derailments and complaints. The Tasmanian Government Railways (TGR) ran at a loss for virtually its entire existence. We wish to caution the committee that this financial position however does not necessarily reflect the full benefits provided by rail services that existed over that time.

In 1878 Salisbury, Armstrong & Co (late of Victoria) advertised the Tasmanian Foundry, Queen’s Wharf. They were engineers, millwrights, iron and brass founders, blacksmiths, among their manufactures steam engines, mining machinery of every description, flour mill, saw mill and agricultural machinery. 1 After Mr Salisbury died in 1883, Henry McKenzie managed the works. 2 In 1886 Salisbury’s Foundry & Engineering Works, Wharf and William Street, ironfounders, millwrights, engineers, blacksmith and boiler makers, included ovens and kitchen ranges in their list of manufactures. The foundry was the sole maker of Kayser’s Patent Tin-dressing appliances, which it supplied to the Mount Bischoff and Stanhope tin mines in Tasmania and tin mining companies in Queensland.
