High-speed rail link between Melbourne and Sydney proposed by private company

in #highspeedrail8 years ago (edited)

It has been talked about for decades, but a private company has launched a $200 billion plan to build a high-speed rail link between Melbourne and Sydney.

Consolidated Land and Rail Australia (CLARA) has publicly released its proposal to build the rail link, which would include eight stops and plans for new regional cities along the route.

The ambitious plan includes the construction of eight brand new island cities between the three capitals, with land deals already secured for the regional hubs that will set up close to existing towns.

“New cities where data is open. Energy is renewable. Water is valued. Homes are affordable. People can live within 10 minutes of all they need. Cities where world class healthcare meets high tech education. Where new and existing businesses will converge to create more vibrant regional ecomonies. Cities built to unlock all human potential.”
