The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Infrastructure, Transport and Cities will hold a videoconference public hearing on 21 July for its inquiry into options for financing faster rail.
The Committee Chair, Mr John Alexander OAM MP, said key stakeholders and industry experts will cover issues of rail priorities and practical approaches to financing infrastructure. The committee will hear from the Property Council of Australia, Infrastructure Partnerships Australia, the Urban Development Institute of Australia, and the Committee for Melbourne.
‘The MTR Corporation, Spacecon Australia Consortia and Tipping Point will draw on their international experience to discuss how innovate international approaches could be utilised in Australia.’
Mr Alexander said that a consistent message from groups is that it crucial that rail infrastructure planning is part of wider master planning and design of Australia’s cities and regions.
‘I am looking forward to hearing from this diverse range of witnesses,’ Mr Alexander said.
