    Just imagine how much more freight could have been moved if Inland Rail had been built as duel track. Missed opportunity supreme.

      But that would mean that the governments couldn't extort more tax dollars in the future when they decide to upgrade it to dual tracks.
      It's in their best interests to spread the corruption across multiple decades to share the stolen wealth among their political and corporate buddies. It's double gouging of our tax dollars. I swear, half of these costs is pure theft.
      Yeah, I'm a bit cynical.

      considering they were already using mostly existing track to cut down costs its not surprising
      maybe if all the subcontractors didnt up their prices 1000x for government jobs there wouldnt be massive cost overruns on literally every project and it might be affordable to double track the whole route

      Definitely an unnecessary expenditure. Passing loops are more than enough. It's important to remember that the construction cost and maintenance is eventually paid by the train companies, make the infrastructure unnecessarily expensive and the entry fees would disentivise the use of rail

      The army will have to redraw the 'Brisbane Line.'
      Originally it ran across the summits and crests of the Great Deviding Range.
      Now with the most important freight corridor west of the GDR.
      A forward military posture along the corridor will have to be drawn up.
      In case of the 'Dooms Day Invasion' scenario.
      Just don't tell Adelaide they have been left out.
      Again.

    Just for clarification, the Melbourne Airport Rail Link is on hold due to a dispute between the state government, who had planned to build an above ground railway station, and the airport authority, who want an under ground railway station. The actual track that would need to be laid is only about 12 klms.

      An engineering and business case has been costed for the 'Great Iron Boomerang.'
      Backed by minor parties and independent senators in the federal Senate.
      The proposal was submitted in Parliament with the backing the mentioned Senators.
      The government has sent it to a committee for evaluation last year.
      The Senate recommendations was to hurry up and go slowly.
      www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Rural_and_Regional_Affairs_and_Transport/IronBoomerang/Report/Chapter_4_-_Conclusions_and_recommendations
      At this rate the trans continental Iron Boomerang won't be started before 2'030.

    One thing I don't get is they have a planned city West of Caboolture which will eventually have the population equvilent to Mackay and yet, despite their been plans for a new second Bruce Highway, there are no plans of building a rail branch or any other form of public transport links to the nearby Caboolture/North Coast line which is just 5km away from the new planned Caboolture West Town Centre.

    Sydney metro costs are grossly understated. This total investment currently under construction for Sydney Metro is $56B. The more accurate costs are as follows: $20B for City and Southwest due to open in 2 stages - The 1st stage from Chatswood to Sydenham opening in 2024, the 2nd stage from Sydenham to Bankstown slated to open in 2025. The Metro West line from Sydney to Westmead is currently costed at $25B and due to open in 2032. The WSA airport line from St Marys to Bradfield is costed at $11B and due to open in 2026. This gives a total of $56B

      I hope they can also build a branch line or some form of public transport link to the new caboolture west development. We have an opportunity here to actually have an area built up around public transport infrastructure. But unless the state government pull their finger out of their ass, we will just keep adding more and more roads. One more lane, bro. SEQ can't keep going down this track.

      ​@@ItzWindyyy I was thinking of a frequent Bus service from Bribie to Caboolture West via Caboolture could also work. The road to Bribie does need serious upgrades. Good thing it looks as if they might finally be moving forward with an upgrade to that bridge, but the rest of the road, a lot of work is needed to be done. I think along with Caboolture West some of that area between Sandstone point and Deception Bay will also be heavilly developed in the future.

    Comprehensive detail.
    Just one statistical quibble.
    The relative populations of Sydney and Melbourne are now equivalent.
    According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Melbourne grew faster than Sydney, beyond previous projections.
    As if the end of 2'023 year.
    Greater Metropolitan Melbourne has 13'000 more residents than Greater Metropolitan Sydney.

    The new airport will mean no noisy aircraft flying over Sydney, cross river rail in Brisbane means a city is properly connected throughout with one public transport system, a basic design requirement in any city and finally Brisbane will have caught up with modern standards for city scale public transport with cross river rail.✌️❤️🇬🇧

    The Westgate Tunnel project is useless without the East West Link going ahead. In fact, the EWL should've been built first as it'll remain the final major missing link in Melbourne's freeway network once the North East Link is completed. The Westgate Tunnel is not even all that necessary as it just provides a minor shortcut to the existing Westgate Freeway to Tullamarine Freeway connection. Stupid thinking.

      That's largely our own fault. Sometime back in the second half of last century, white people all over the Western Hemisphere decided that it was cool to not only reject the old traditions, but openly mock and ridicule them. With offspring reduction being just one of those aspects. Now the natural fertility rate is too low and we're dependent on brown, black and yellow people to make up the numbers. Too bad. Lesson learned hopefully, whether it's too late or not.
