These projects build on the rail commitments being delivered under our existing $26.7 billion Nation Building Program, with work to start on the following projects within the next 12 months:
Separately, in the coming financial year the Government will pay the majority of its $1.2 billion capital injection in the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC). This transaction was part of the December stimulus package, with the funds being used to upgrade the Hunter's coal export chain as well as other key sections of the interstate rail network.
With the support and investment we're providing over coming years, this century is shaping up to be another 'golden age' for rail.
Together, our much greater investment in road and rail will lift the economy's capacity constraints and ensure Australia emerges from the global recession in a strong position. Our aim is to build a truly national and integrated transport system.
